A similarly sized and comparable (but not identical) mixed media-drawing of the same subject was exhibited in the Tate Gallery exhibition John Piper, November 1983 - January 1984, no. 157, illustrated in colour p. 67. Vézelay Abbey has a complicated array of imagery in sculpted capitals and portals, and is one of the outstanding masterpieces of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture.

We are very grateful to Rev. Dr Stephen Laird for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
