Design for a nave
Louis C. Tiffany|Tiffany Studios|Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company
ca. 1892–1918 · Watercolor, pen and red and brown inks, and graphite on white wove paper; tissue · The American Wing
The Ecclesiastical Department produced designs for church interiors in styles ranging from Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic to Neoclassical. This grisaille drawing depicts a stately Romanesque Revivial church interior with a barrel-vaulted ceiling, round arched medallion windows, and elaborate hanging lanterns. Tiffany's signature in the lower right corner allows a tentative attribution to his hand, or his approval of another desinger's work.
