This stained glass panel depicts Jesus Christ, identified by a cross halo, with a group of his followers. In the 1870s and 1880s, Adam and Small of Glasgow made some of Scotland's finest windows, with a strongly neo-classicist or Aesthetic style and a distinctive range of colours, which are well-illustrated in this panel. The range of coloured and textured glass used in this window reveals the enormous variety of glass available by this time. Stephen Adam (1848–1910) worked for Daniel Cottier until 1870 when he entered into a partnership with David Small (1846–1927). He had studied medieval and modern stained glass in Europe and was influenced by the works of Burne-Jones and Holman Hunt. He was also inspired by Japanese art, which began to be imported into Europe in the 1870s.
