This stained glass window, dated 1895, surely represents Saint Isidore the Plowman, patron saint of farmers.
This stained glass window, dated 1895 (as indicated by the inscription “Gift of Jules Mourot 1895”), depicts a bucolic scene combining a main figure wearing a halo, in prayer, and an angel guiding a plow. The background shows a cultivated field and a rural landscape. The neo-Gothic style of the frame, with its floral motifs and bright colors, matches the other stained glass windows in the Sainte-Ursule church in Noncourt. A man, dressed in a red tunic and boots, stands with his hands clasped in prayer. He has a halo, indicating that he is a saint. A yellow purse hangs from his belt, a detail perhaps emphasizing his role in the agricultural economy or his humility. To the right, an angel in a red robe pushes a plow pulled by two white horses. This detail symbolizes divine intervention in earthly labors. In the background, a landscape of fields and trees reinforces the pastoral setting and underlines the link between nature, agriculture and spirituality.This stained glass window, dated 1895 (as indicated by the inscription “Gift of Jules Mourot 1895”), depicts a bucolic scene combining a main figure wearing a halo, in prayer, and an angel guiding a plow.
