This stained glass window, signed "J. Benoit Nancy 1915", depicts the resurrection of Jairus's daughter by Jesus and bears a dedication "In memory of Claire Soyer".
This ogee-shaped stained-glass window depicts the resurrection of Jairus's daughter. This scene is framed by a decoration of gilded scrollwork and stylized plant ornaments found in the margins, punctuated by cherubs and antique vases. The style is resolutely that of the Benoit workshop in Nancy. At the center of the scene, Jesus, surrounded by a Christ-like halo, holds the hand of a young girl sitting on a bed. The young girl, lying down, has straightened up. Her gaze is fixed on Jesus; her features are delicate and realistic. Surrounding the scene, several secondary figures can be seen. The bearded man on the left is probably Jairus, the father; a woman is moved; and two boys, one of whom is disfigured, observe the scene. To the right of the bed, an incense lamp rests on a small table, a liturgical and funerary symbol; the young girl was probably believed to be dead. In the background, a classic, vaulted interior design, in shades of cold stone, contrasts with the light of the central scene. The stained-glass window is signed "J. Benoit Nancy 1915" and bears a dedication "In memory of Claire Soyer," the patron or the deceased in whose memory this stained-glass window was donated.This ogee-shaped stained-glass window depicts the resurrection of Jairus's daughter.
