This stained glass window illustrates a scene of the instruction of Mary by Saint Anne, in the presence of Joachim.
This stained-glass window features a border around a central narrative medallion. The rest of the glasswork is ornamental, rich in floral motifs, stylized foliage, arabesques, and interlacing on a grisaille background. The central medallion depicts Saint Anne seated, teaching the young Mary, who kneels before her with clasped hands. Anne is dressed in green. Behind it, Saint Joachim, Mary's father, observes the scene, standing in a golden tunic and red cloak. The architectural decoration in the background evokes a stone house with an opening to the outside. In the lower right corner, the signature "J. JANIN, master glassmaker in Nancy 1887?" helps to locate the origin of the window.This stained-glass window features a border around a central narrative medallion.
