Sir Tristram kills Sir Marhaus, son of the King of Ireland, before sailing for Cornwall with Sir Marhaus's sister Ysoude. The scene comes from a set of thirteen stained glass panels of the story of Tristram and Ysoude, from Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur'.
The glass was commissioned from Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co by a Bradford merchant, Walter Dunlop, for his house, Harden Grange, near Bingley, Yorkshire. Arthur Hughes, Valentine Prinsep, Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown and William Morris designed the other panels in the series.
