Head of a King
c.1954

Provenance
The artist Private Collection UK This work is from a series relating to ‘Two Heads’, John Piper’s first work in stained glass that was made as a trial panel for his first public stained glass project, the windows in the Chapel at Oundle School in Northamptonshire, which were dedicated in May 1956, and unveiled by the Queen Mother. This particular work would, however, appear to be a king, rather than a head of Christ.
