DESCRIPTION: An excellent original watercolor of a design for an Art Nouveau period stained glass window. It features a stylized version of a Madonna and Child set in a landscape against a tree. It has a pointed arch top museum mat and modern frame. Possibly by noted Rhode Island artist and stained glass designer John LeFarge. I've found similar window designs and that iris flowers were a recurring theme for LeFarge.

Has age toning normally associated with an antique work on paper. Not extreme. Can be enjoyed as is, or could benefit from a cleaning by a conservator. The colors are still quite nice, and the paper board is whole and intact. There is a break at upper left corner, but the painted area is fine. We have provided excellent hi-res photos so you can judge condition for yourself.
