This stained glass window shows the workshop of Joseph, the carpenter.
The stained-glass window opens beneath a simple, pointed arch and reveals a domestic scene. Beneath a portico decorated with stylized Gothic columns and pediments, we glimpse Joseph's workshop. To the left, Saint Joseph, an old man with a white beard, dressed in an ochre tunic and a purple cloak, interrupts his carpentry work. Near him, his carpentry tools lie on the ground. To the right, the Virgin Mary is seated. She is spinning wool with a spindle. She wears a midnight blue robe lined with red. Between them, the Infant Jesus, bathed in light, holds a roll of parchment and appears to be listening or learning. All around, elements of nature and daily life complete the scene. The white lily is prominent. The background reveals a glimpse of a city.The stained-glass window opens beneath a simple, pointed arch and reveals a domestic scene.
