Saint-Sulpice Church

This stained glass window is ornamental.

This ornamental stained-glass window consists of two twin lancets, each divided into five horizontal panels, totaling ten main compartments. Each of these panels features a mandorla with scalloped edges, alternately blue or red, into which a figurative medallion is inserted. The faces are painted on glass and encircled by a golden halo. The whole is framed by foliage motifs on a light background decorated with grisaille. Among these faces, more or less erased by time, we can distinguish at least one woman and some bearded men.
