A vertical stained glass window panel, located in Lens, France, displays a full-length depiction of a standing human figure. The central figure is presented with a light-colored, circular halo around its head and features curly, light-toned hair. The face exhibits an unsmiling expression. The figure is clad in a light-colored outer cloak and a golden inner garment, possibly armor, adorned with decorative patterns. The figure's left hand (viewer's right) grasps a long, vertical staff or standard from which a white banner or scroll unfurls. The right hand (viewer's left) holds a golden, pointed shield bearing multiple circular motifs arranged vertically. The background immediately surrounding the figure is deep blue, set within a grey-toned architectural framework suggestive of a Gothic niche. This framework includes intricate tracery and a golden fleur-de-lis-like emblem at its apex. The entire composition is defined by the dark lead lines inherent to stained glass, with evidence of minor fragmentation or wear visible, particularly towards the bottom of the panel.
