This stained glass ceiling light fixture, designed by American architect William Gray Purcell in 1913, exemplifies the geometric patterns and stylized forms characteristic of the Arts and Crafts movement. Composed of an intricate network of circular and radial elements, the piece showcases a masterful use of color and texture. The predominantly beige and green tones create a serene ambiance, while the accents of blue and orange add pops of vibrancy, enhancing the overall visual appeal. Today, the fixture is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, a testament to Purcell's influential contributions to the field of decorative arts.
