This is a preliminary design for a stained glass window by Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones. Depicting an angel playing on bells, it's a design study characterized by the artist's distinctive linear style and use of fine detail, evident in the meticulously rendered angel's wings and the rhythmic arrangement of the bells. The composition is contained within a circular frame, typical of stained glass designs, hinting at the intended medium for this piece. The drawing likely served as a guide for the final execution of the stained glass window, illustrating Burne-Jones's working process and commitment to meticulous planning.
