This mosaic panel at St Mark's, Hamilton Terrace, was installed in memory of Charles Dupin Drayson, c. 1905, and is very much in the style of the mosaics on the pulpit. However, Bob Speel praises their compositional variety, and notes that "although the picture is apparently three dimensional, the artist actually creates a single plain in front of the background, a device used with great sophistication by Alma Tadema in his paintings. Despite the date, this panel hearkens back to a Victorian sweetness."
