Yes, it's quite a geometric version of a common approach to the nativity/adoration of the shepherds. Lots of angels too, but not quite so regimented, in Botticelli & Burne-Jones.

A glaring flaw for me is that sickly feeling I get at seeing a portrait in stained glass - the baby Jesus, I fear🤢.

😄 it just looks like a bungalow to me!

Yes. Max Oettli is the photographer. He moved to Switzerland but he gave his New Zealand photographs to the National Library (NZ) which I've been going through, although I took a timeout recently with 2000 odd photos of his still to go.

Another (right) early 16th century stained glass scene in a tall single light I can compare with W. F. Dixon.

Coincidentally, I have just come across this (right) early 16th century deposition/entombment scene so can compare the two. Similar tall, narrow, single light challenge.

Did he catch it?

Comparing the carrying of the cross. Tavistock with Aswarby.

He did similar in Tavistock. Instead of the nativity there is the agony in the garden but the other three scenes are of the same subjects but with different designs, each long and thin. Carrying the cross, deposition and the resurrection.

In case you are not aware of this engraving by Dirck Volkertsz Coornhert from a design by Frans Floris (Rijkmuseum). 1557 - it's only a couple of years before. The similarity in general design, and the absence (so far) of similar engravings, strongly suggests to me they tweaked it.

Split up into four teams of two. Each team to be given one of these to emulate. Take photographs to compare.

The above can be compared with Alexander Gibbs. Here the three Marys and two male disciples frame a resurrection. Beneath we have the startled soldiers in frozen, angular, melodramatic poses. Again, flat, picture plane, decorative backgrounds.

In the painting the two women furthest left both have one hand raised and the one on the right has her hand by her side. The photograph of the stained glass is not sharp but we can make out that the hands are in the same positions.

Identical. Note feet and hands.
