3° PAINTED WINDOWS AT HADDON HALL. 



The flesh treatment is all on white glass, and shaded with 

 brown. The waist cloth is ruby, and the cross is tinted with 

 yellow stain. Four angels — two on each side — attend the suf- 

 fering Redeemer. The two uppermost with elevated wings, and 

 each with a chalice, are catching the sacred blood issuing from 

 the wounds in the hands : another is similarly engaged at the 

 pierced side, whilst the fourth, on the opposite side, with its 

 wings crossed over the head, is gazing downwards in deepest 

 sorrow. 



The arms of the Crucified are in an almost vertical position, 

 the crowned head is slightly bowed to His right, and the legs 

 are arranged downwards in a line with the stem of the cross ; 

 the extremities of the feet are lost. 



Just below the intersection of the cross is a gracefully curved 

 scroll, bearing in Lombardic characters the initials "rRR-T" 

 The treatment of the hair is similar to that described in the 

 north window. 



The shield supported by the angels at the base is that of the 

 Vernons — argt. frcity, sable, with a canton (which should be 

 gules, but has been filled in with white). The head of the 

 principal supporting angel here is the only one left of the series. 



The " batements " at the top of the fourth light have each a 

 suitable figure, but the annealing of the " colour " could not 

 have been perfect, because all the surface painting has perished, 

 and the contour is preserved only by the lead lines. 



The third principal figure below represents the Baptist with 

 an Agnus Dei lying on a book, resting on the left arm, while 

 the Harbinger is pointing to the Lamb with his right. S. John 

 is clothed with a camel's skin, to which the animal's feet and 

 tail are attached, the latter very large and hairy. All details 

 are executed on white glass, duly shaded with brown and tinted 

 with stain. The Agnus Dei holds a cross, with a streamer 

 attached to the stem. The whole figure and its treatment is 

 very similar to that in All Saints', North Street, York. The 

 earth is of a brownish tint, with the grass and herbage finely 

 relieved with stain.
