about 1932
Symbols of the Four Evangelists above the altar table with the Adoration of the Lamb below. Greek text. Part of the memorial to the Countess of Maidstone.
designer: W. D. Caröe
artist: Frederick Brook Hitch
patron: Jenkinson
St Davids Cathedral, St Davids, Pembrokeshire
Chapel of St Edward the Confessor (south aisle of the retrochoir)
The scene showing the adoration of the lamb bears compositional similarities to the panel showing the adoration of the Lamb from the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan van Eyck.
