This design for a stained glass panel shows King Arthur and Sir Lancelot. It was drawn by William Morris in 1862 and is the penultimate panel in a fourteen part series illustrating 'The Story of Tristan and Iseult’ from Sir Thomas Malory's ‘Le Morte d'Arthur’. The panels were commissioned by Walter Dunlop, a Bradford merchant for the decoration of the entrance hall at Harden Grange, Bingley, Yorkshire. The windows were removed from the house after Dunlop's death and are now in the collection of Bradford City Art Gallery.
