This stained glass window is a representation of Saint Anthony of Padua carrying the Child Jesus. The scene takes place in an architectural setting decorated with columns and arches. The saint is depicted in a brown Franciscan habit wearing a rosary ending in a golden cross. He holds a branch of lilies in one hand and carries the Child Jesus in the other. The background is composed of green and red curtains, evoking a theatrical staging that highlights the holiness of the figure represented. At the foot of the saint we see the signature of the glassmaker "RICHARD - Nancy", attesting to his Lorraine origin. "Gift of Drouot-Drouot", mentions the sponsor of the stained glass window. We note the alteration of the glass at the level of the faces, possibly due to deterioration over time or an accident.This stained glass window is a representation of Saint Anthony of Padua carrying the Child Jesus.
