This stained glass window depicts Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, parents of the Virgin Mary, in a moment of teaching. On the left, a veiled woman in a long dress holds a book. This is Saint Anne, mother of Mary, who is teaching her the Scriptures. On the right, in the 2nd plane, a bearded man in a purple and green tunic, pensive, observes the child. This is Saint Joachim, father of Mary. In front of him, the young girl, haloed, dressed in white and gold, and absorbed in her reading is Mary as a child. The architectural decor is sober. The composition is balanced, with bright colors and geometric and floral patterns. The use of glass painting allows for the details of the faces and the folds of the clothes. The frame of the stained glass window presents symmetrical and ornamental patterns specific to the 19th century.This stained glass window depicts Saint Anne and Saint Joachim, parents of the Virgin Mary, in a moment of teaching.
