This stained glass window from 1977, signed by the Benoît workshop, probably represents Saint Teresa of Avila.
This modern stained glass window depicts a serene female figure. The artistic composition favors a contemporary aesthetic. The central figure is a nun in monastic habits. She is dressed in a brown dress, symbolizing humility and penance, covered with a scapular and a black veil. Her face, surrounded by light, evokes a venerated saint or nun. The open hands, palms facing outward, reflect a posture of welcome, offering or intercession. This figure represented is most likely Saint Teresa of Avila, also known as Teresa of Jesus. The background of the stained glass window is composed of abstract and colorful geometric shapes, dominated by warm golden hues. This may symbolize the divine light that envelops the character, emphasizing her sacred character. Blue, red and gold colours appear in the lower part, introducing a celestial (blue) and terrestrial (red) duality, with touches of gold, synonymous with divine transcendence. At the bottom right, this stained glass window bears the mention of the creation workshop: Atelier Benoît, 1977, which confirms the contemporary date of creation of this work.This modern stained glass window depicts a serene female figure.
