Drawings created for a proposed set of new stained glass windows for the Obradoiro façade. In the large central panel, a scene of the Apparition of Saint James at the Battle of Clavijo was to be featured, with the Chapter's coat of arms above it, depicting the apostolic tomb supported by four angels.
As for the authorship, García Iglesias links the project to the Holy Year of 1897 and attributes it to Modesto Brocos, while Singul attributes it to Roberto González del Blanco, from León, associating it with the Holy Year of 1926. In any case, both the central drawings and the decorative borders that would have framed the composition combine elements of Modernism with the historicist approach characteristic of both artists.
