Design for a window
Not on view
Although Northrop primarily designed windows, it is unknown whether this drawing was for a window or a mosaic, as Tiffany Studios also created beautiful mosaics made from favrile glass as part of interior-design commissions. Regardless, this work complements Northrop’s other works in terms of color, composition, and iconography. The red and pink flowers that surround the central fountain and spill over the low balustrade bedecked with wreathes convey Northrop’s characteristic sense of naturalism and movement in rendering flowers. The domed gazebo is enlivened by the splashes of yellow sunlight on its molding. Northrop conveys a sense of liveliness and richness that no doubt would have helped the client envision the final product.
