Curatorial RemarksThis is the large scale composition design for the left panel of the reredos in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, Washington National Cathedral. The Brandywine River Museum holds the companion design for the center panel (NCW 2049, 96.1.503) and a lantern slide (NCWS.95.1825.30) made from the drawing, used in the transfer of the design from paper to panel (NCW 1471). NCW 1862 is the artist's rendering of this design in watercolor.
