Study for a Stained Glass Window 1570 - 1614

Christoph Murer's "Study for a Stained Glass Window" (1570-1614) is a detailed pen and ink drawing that was created as a preliminary sketch for a stained glass window. The composition features a central figure, likely Adam, standing on a platform, with two figures seated on either side. Surrounding the central figure are a variety of other individuals and cherubs. The drawing is a testament to Murer's skill as a draftsman and his interest in the potential of stained glass as a medium. The work is held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
