Sambourne House Museum Stained and painted glass window, Sambourne House, 1887

This detail comes from a large stained glass window designed by Linley Sambourne for his Drawing Room. The vase shape magically frames a river scene within where golden fish and frogs swim amongst plant stems, with the suggestion of trees and the riverbank beyond. The image has an illustrative quality and reflects Sambourne’s skill in capturing a moment in a story.
