Church of St. Mary Magdalene

This vertical stained glass window represents a haloed female figure in prayer.

This vertical stained-glass window is inserted into a semicircular arched window. It presents a central composition structured around an oval medallion, framed by a Baroque-style decoration in shades of gold, white, and blue. In the center of the medallion sits a haloed female figure, her hands clasped in a gesture of prayer. Her peaceful face, with its direct gaze and fine features, exudes profound serenity. She is dressed in a white dress and a blue sash. Her head is covered by a veil of the same shade, which frames her face but reveals the reddish-blonde color of her hair. This could be Saint Mary Magdalene. All around, the medallion is surrounded by golden scrolls, stylized foliage, and plant motifs executed in grisaille. The rest of the stained-glass window, rather milky in color, highlights the central figure well.
