Lot Essay
After the success of her designs for windows at Tullabeg, Lord Crawford and Sir Jasper Ridley put forward Evie Hone's name for the commission for a new east window at Eton College chapel. The window was executed between 1949 and 1952, and was an 18-light panel depicting The Last Supper and The Crucifixion, with the figures of Melchisedech, Abraham and Isaac. The window is rich and elaborate, and is widely regarded as her masterpiece. Post Lot Text Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to this lot.
