Summary

Description
English: Stained glass artist and illustrator Harry Clarke (1889-1931) drew this design for a stained glass window featuring Saint Gobnait of Ballyvourney, a sixth-century patron saint of beekeepers. The window is installed on the south side of the nave of Honan Chapel, Cork, Ireland, and is one of a series of windows Clarke designed for Honan Chapel. Gobnait is featured in the foreground of the design, and holds her abbess's wooden crozier and a model of the abbey she founded. Bees and several vignettes featuring Gobnait surround her. The background of the design is made up of honeycomb-shaped lozenges. Clarke noted details describing the stories depicted in the design around the edges of the drawing. Watercolor, pen, and ink on paper ; 73 x 23 cm.
