Note: This study is thought to be for the stained glass window Henry Holiday designed for St. Salvator's Chapel in St. Andrews. The window he provided for St Salvator's is in the pre-Raphaelite style popularised by Morris & Co. Commissioned as a memorial to Principal Shairp, the window bears the figures of Virtue, Faith and Knowledge of which the current lot is a study for the figure of Virtue.
