The Garland Weavers - Drapery Study1866 – 1867 Accession number: 1904P26 Pencil, laid down, on paper. Width: 174 mm Height: 325 mm InformationOne of eleven studies in Birmingham's collection for a series of six stained glass panels called 'The Garland Weavers', installed in the Green Dining Room at 1 Palace Green (now in the Victoria and Albert Museum). The figures were set into three windows, with two panels in each, forming part of a larger scheme for which Philip Webb was responsible.This study is probably for the figure in panel five, for which another drapery study exists in the Witt Collection of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. In Birmingham's study, the figure differs considerably than the finished image in the glass, where she turns her head to look at the garland in her left hand.
