Design for Stained-glass Window with Four Old Testament Prophets
In 1934, Richard Roland Holst was commissioned to design the window decoration of the north transept of the Utrecht Cathedral. As a final step in the working process, he drew 68 full-scale cartoons on cardboard to assist the glass painter: the black lines indicate where the lead strips go and the colours of the chalk echo those of the glass. The four prophets still tower above visitors to the church.
