This stained glass window represents Saint Mathilde and Saint Libaire.
This stained glass window is composed of two symmetrical lancets framed by geometric Gothic motifs. It is topped with a circular medallion representing a golden cross on a blue background. The base of the stained glass windows bears an inscription from the donors testifying to the devotion of the benefactors of the time. The stained glass window on the left represents Saint Mathilde. She is depicted in a solemn posture, wearing royal garments rich in detail, and holding a model of a church in her hands. The right lancet presents Saint Libaire, a Lorraine martyr associated with the Grand region. She is depicted with the palm of martyrdom, a sober tunic and cape, a lamb and an axe at her feet. The stained glass window follows the aesthetic codes of the 19th century. The dominant celestial blue evokes purity and faith, while the touches of gold recall her royalty and divine light. The lead drawing is precise and the details of the faces are accentuated by fine nuances of paint.This stained glass window is composed of two symmetrical lancets framed by geometric Gothic motifs.
