"Window" (c. 1913) by William Gray Purcell is a stunning example of stained glass art in the Prairie School style. The geometric patterns and use of muted colors like beige, light green, and pink are characteristic of the movement, which was popular in the early 20th century. The minimalist design, inspired by nature, is both elegant and functional, creating a sense of harmony and tranquility. The window, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a testament to Purcell's artistic skill and his contributions to the development of American architecture and design.
