Ontwerp voor een glas-in-loodvenster 1876 - 1924

This is a preliminary sketch for a stained-glass window, created by Dutch artist Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof between 1876 and 1924. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a simple, yet expressive, design for a circular central panel set within a rectangular frame. The central motif is a swirling, abstract form, possibly inspired by nature or symbolic of a specific theme. The surrounding squares suggest the division of the window into smaller, individual panels.
