This panoramic landscape window of layered opalescent glass was made by Tiffany Studios for the Curtis Publishing Company building in Philadelphia and entered the Metropolitan Museum in the mid-1920s.
Viewed through a simulated mullioned opening, a river winds past autumn trees toward distant hills, demonstrating the painterly effects Tiffany achieved entirely in glass.
It is among the latest large secular windows of the studio in a museum collection.
