This non-figurative stained glass window is composed of two main lancets and an upper quatrefoil. It belongs to the Gothic decorative register and presents a play of geometric and floral motifs, with a predominance of blue, yellow, red and green. The lancets are decorated with repetitive motifs formed of blue and yellow quatrefoils, surrounded by a delicate plant network of scrolls and stylized flowers. At the borders, we observe an alternation of red and green squares, highlighted by white pearls, which punctuate the composition and accentuate its vertical effect. The upper quatrefoil represents a triangle containing an eye, symbol of divine Providence or the Eye of God. This stained glass window is an example of 19th century Gothic tracery, designed to let in light while magnifying the sacred space.This non-figurative stained glass window is composed of two main lancets and an upper quatrefoil.
