This stained glass window probably represents the Guardian Angel.
This vertical stained glass window, set within a round-arched bay, presents a scene of protection, placed at the center of an oval medallion. The whole is framed by a neo-Gothic border decorated with acanthus leaves, vegetal scrolls, and stylized flowers, in tones of blue, red, gold, and green. At the center of the composition, a winged and haloed angel, human in size and dressed in white, is shown holding the hand of a little girl dressed in pink. The angel, recognizable by his halo and the large crucifix he wears around his neck, looks kindly at the child he is guiding. The girl, in addition to her pink dress, holds a white flower, probably a lily, a symbol of purity and innocence. Some details of the stained glass, such as the landscape in the background, the hands, and the faces, are only faintly sketched , almost erased by the passage of time.This vertical stained glass window, set within a round-arched bay, presents a scene of protection, placed at the center of an oval medallion.
