Stained glass window painted in grisaille, silver yellow, and enamels on smooth glass. Typical of 17th-century Swiss and Dutch work for so-called apartment stained glass windows, on which the inscriptions show that it was to commemorate a happy event that the window was made. Under the central scene in which women wash a newborn, we see the names of the parents: Christianus Bovens and Margareta de Fleuron Conjungues anno 1626. All around are birds and the coats of arms of the two families.
