This magnificent cartoon was apparently designed as a tile panel. It was adapted for stained glass, as the centre of the west rose window at St. Martin's, Scarborough, one of the Morris firm's early commissions.

There exists another later version (c. 1866-67) that Burne-Jones executed as a design for stained glass (current location unknown), that was exhibited at the Stone Gallery, Newcastle, in the autumn of 1969 (cat. no. 17), showing both figures in profile. Also, there is another preliminary version of this in the Tate collection (no. 4343).

This cartoon also appears in the Morris & Co Windows Book, 1940P604.1, as number 7.
