Description:
Samuel is a single lancet light of the Prophet in old age, set against delicately painted lozenge-shaped quarries. It forms a strong contrast to other figurative subjects shown at the Boston fair in America. Morris & Co's aim was to introduce to an American audience the firm's various ways of rendering subject matter and the different techniques of glass painting.
