    Iconography

    Description

    This pencil and watercolour drawing by the British architect James William Wild (1814–1892) shows two rectangular stucco and glass windows: that on the left bears the motif of a double arch with flower-star ornament, and that on the right bears the motif of a stylized cypress tree flanked by carnations in a medallion. Both windows contain pieces of glass in red, blue, green, and yellow. Wild has added a pencil note in the lower left corner of the drawing.
