The stained glass window depicts Saint Pierre Fourier (1565-1640), a priest canonized for his pastoral and educational commitment. In the halo surrounding his head, the Latin inscription "Beatus Petrus Fourier" (Blessed Pierre Fourier) attests to his status as a recognized saint. He is often nicknamed "the good father of Mattaincourt" because of his role in the Lorraine community. Pierre Fourier is depicted full-length, dressed in the black cassock of priests and a black cloak. He holds a wooden cross against his chest, a symbol of his devotion and attachment to Christ. This object also refers to his role as an evangelist. His right hand is open, in a gesture of welcome or blessing, reflecting his benevolence. The Halo: The golden halo behind his head signals his holiness. The inscription adds a narrative dimension, confirming his identity. The saint is placed in an architectural niche, decorated with columns and floral motifs, reminiscent of Gothic architecture. These elements reinforce the sacred character of the scene. At the bottom of the stained glass window, we see a blue coat of arms. At the bottom right, it is written: "Maréchal et Champigneulles, Bar-le-Duc", probably indicating the manufacturer.
