Watercolour Study for Stained Glass Panel Heaton Butler & Bayne 19th Century

This is a beautiful painting which is a design for a stained glass window dating, from the 19th Century. The painting is attributed to Heaton, Butler and Bayne who were an English firm producing stained glass windows from 1862 to 1953. Westminster Abbey includes a Heaton, Butler and Bayne window, installed in 1868, an early example of the work of Henry Holiday. Also the stained glass in the east window of the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, Gillingham. Other windows by this firm are in Wimborne Minster 1857, Peterborough Cathedral 1864 and St Marys Parish Church Hampton 1888. The painting is in mixed media and is in very good condition with great strength of colour and only a very small loss to the edge of the arch to the top left. It is attractively framed in a smart gilt frame and plain ivory coloured mount.
