Small-scale pen and ink drawing with yellow watercolour on paper. Divided into four rectangular lights, with a semi-circular light outlined above, this design for a stained-glass window in the Ceramic Gallery (now the Silver Gallery, Rooms 65-69) depicts Greek and Etruscan ceramic production. Shown in an interior with vases placed upon high shelves and, the upper two lights depict scenes relating to the potter’s daughter of Sicyon: in the left light, she draws the profile of her lover’s shadow; in the right light, she is seated at a bench to paint a vase. Each containing a central figure bearing a vase, the lower left light represents the sacred use of earthenware, and the lower right light the honorary use of earthenware. Drawn to a larger scale and coloured with yellow watercolour, to the side is a detail of the pattern to be used as a border.
