Design for an arched stained glass window, showing two alternative patterns 1869

Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise’s 1869 design for an arched stained glass window showcases two contrasting patterns. The left side of the design features an intricate and repetitive pattern of stylized leaves and floral elements rendered in shades of green and gold, while the right side presents a more geometric design with repeating squares and circles, executed in muted grey tones. This artwork, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a striking example of Lachaise's draftsmanship and his ability to create visually engaging patterns within a limited color palette.
