This is a sketch for a stained glass window of six divisions. The dynamic lines of the central fields recall the style of Victor Horta. In the opinion of József Diner Dénes “it should be appreciated (on these works) that, in contrast with contemporary American and English trends... Horty applies enough colourless glass to let the light in the room. ”
