Smith Museum Tiffany Gallery [ Two Angels - by Tiffany Studio ]

Designed and Fabricated by Tiffany Studio..

This symbolism is carried to a thoughtful conclusion by the angels beautifully feathered white wings and drapery-folded garments. The use of pastel colors contribute to the serenity. As with all Tiffany figurative windows, the exposed faces, hands and feet are painted..
