This stained glass window consists of four vertical lancets, probably representing David, Saint Joseph, Saint Mary Magdalene and Moses.
This stained glass window consists of four vertical lancets, each depicting a full-length figure. Each figure is richly dressed and surrounded by a deep blue background, framed by gilded architectural elements reminiscent of Gothic canopies. The lancets are topped by a tympanum composed of floral and geometric motifs, in the center of which is a symbolic representation of the Holy Spirit in the form of a radiant dove, inscribed in a medallion. Each figure is depicted with specific attributes: First lancet: A bearded man, dressed in red and green, holds a lyre, clearly identified as King David. Second lancet: A bearded man, holding a flower (probably a lily), could be a figure like Saint Joseph, often depicted with a lily, a symbol of purity and protection. Third lancet: A haloed woman, carrying a chalice, who evokes Mary Magdalene, a symbol of penance and redemption. Fourth lancet: A bearded man without a halo, holding a carved stone resembling a tablet of the Ten Commandments. This element could identify Moses, a biblical figure associated with divine Law.This stained glass window consists of four vertical lancets, each depicting a full-length figure.
