This large window was commissioned by Mrs. George T. Bliss in 1908 for the grand staircase landing of her house at 9 East Sixty-eighth Street. The allegory of Welcome—a classically garbed figure in the pose of Andromeda—draws back a portiere with her left hand and beckons the visitor with her right. The model was Mrs. Bliss's daughter Susan Dwight Bliss, who donated many La Farge watercolors to the Metropolitan.

The window, which is in the Charles Engelhard Court of the American Wing, demonstrates an ambitious use of diverse glass effects. The figure's gown is in cloisonné and the steps are of confetti glass, paper-thin flakes of colored glass embedded in opalescent molten glass. A tour de force of design and fabrication, the window was completed just eleven months before La Farge's death.
