Wall decoration - Three Figures in Motion

Three Figures in Motion – Leaded Stained Glass Panel

This stained glass panel depicts three stylised human figures in forward motion, rendered through angular segmentation and controlled colour transitions. The composition relies on posture and directional alignment rather than facial detail, creating a visual narrative of collective movement and balance. Light passing through the glass enhances depth and rhythm, reinforcing the sculptural quality of the figures.

Value rationale
Large-format figurative stained glass panels from the late 20th century are valued for craftsmanship and visual impact, particularly when combining abstract figuration with architectural glass techniques. The strong colour palette, balanced composition, and intact leadwork support collectible and decorative value.
