Description

Exquisite preparatory study for a stained glass window design of the Biblical 'Feeding the Multitude' miracles, attributed to John La Farge by Albert Sandecki of Sanski Art Center Studio & Gallery of Haddonfield, New Jersey, where it was once held as part of the gallery's private collection. The stunning artwork is magnificently executed in watercolor on an off-white 5.25 x 12.5 sheet, likely done as a formal proposal for a church or cathedral's stained glass window commission; it does not appear to have been actualized. Mounted, matted, and framed to an overall size of 14 x 22. In fine condition. A masterful, highly detailed original painting, done by a brilliant colorist.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
