This stained glass window represents two figures of Christianity: Saint Francis of Assisi on the left and Saint Clare of Assisi on the right.
The stained glass window consists of two vertical lancets with Gothic motifs and rich floral and geometric ornaments in the background. Each character is framed by an architectural decor with buildings in the background. These two figures of Christianity are Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare of Assisi. Saint Francis of Assisi, on the left, is identifiable by his Franciscan habit, a brown tunic, his three-knotted rope, his stigmata visible on his hands and a landscape background reminiscent of the city of Assisi. Saint Clare of Assisi, on the right, is dressed in a gray-blue habit of a Poor Clare nun, she holds a monstrance, carries an abbess' crozier. Her background recalls the monastery of Saint Damian, which she founded in Assisi. The stained glass window is topped with a quatrefoil illustrating Christ on the cross, a frequent representation in religious iconography.The stained glass window consists of two vertical lancets with Gothic motifs and rich floral and geometric ornaments in the background.
