This scene depicts Saint Joan of Arc meeting King Charles VII.
The stained glass window consists of a figurative scene inserted into a geometric decor. This scene represents a character, with her halo and military equipment, who could be Saint Joan of Arc meeting King Charles VII upon his arrival in Chinon in 1429. The king wears a fleur-de-lis coat, a crown and a scepter. In the background, the presence of bishops suggests a solemn setting, possibly Joan of Arc's audience with the king. In addition, the Gothic decor recalls the architecture of the king's court in Chinon. The ornamental frame consists of interlaced circular motifs. In the lower part of the stained glass window, we notice a dedication: "Gift of Mr THOUVENIN in memory of his wife J. HALBEISEN."The stained glass window consists of a figurative scene inserted into a geometric decor.
