The French Revolutionary government closed this church in 1791, and it was demolished in 1840. We do not know what happened to the large window to which these panels belonged. \r\n\r\nThe two panels were linked to Saint-Nicholas by Jean Lafond, who was a renowned French expert in stained glass. He discovered drawings dating from the early 18th century that recorded the window in this church.\r\n\r\nThe details in the drawings are sketchy and do not match the V&A panels precisely, but the coat of arms displayed on the panels do correspond to those on the drawings. In this panel we see a woman with her children in the bottom right, along with her family coat of arms impaled with that of her husband's. (The arms of her husband appear in the Annunciation panel.  A cherub holds the shield of arms. The husband's are those on the left-hand side and the wife's are on the right-hand side.","physicalDescription":"Our Lord stands in a pulpit to the left with a group of men and women before him in a landscape with trees and buildings.

A cherub holds up a shield of her arms, with those of her husband: argent on a chevron azure five gouttes, dimidiating gules on a chief azure three mullets or \r\nThe panel is painted in black, silver-yellow, and red and brown enamel. The charge on the shield is executed by abrasion.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Stained glass","id":"AAT10853"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Clear and coloured glass with painted details and yellow (silver) stain","categories":[{"text":"Stained Glass","id":"THES48891"},{"text":"Christianity","id":"THES48978"},{"text":"Religion","id":"THES48900"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AJ8059","2017KE1541"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"83 (VA)","id":"THES49711"},"free":"","case":"WE","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Panel","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Normandy","id":"x29041"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":"Restored by James Powell & Son (Whitefriars Glassworks) Ltd"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1540","earliest":"1535-01-01","latest":"1544-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"91.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"85","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Dieu    L'homme","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"God    Man","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"Formerly in Craven Cottage in Fulham, now destroyed.\r\nBought from B.

From these drawings it is evident that this window and the one of the Annunciation (68-1899) come from a window dedicated to the Pelerinage de la vie humaine, illustrating the journey of man towards Salvation.  This panel shows pilgrims listening to Christ Preaching. Included in the scene is the female donor, seated at the right, and her children. Her arms (here impaled with those of her husband's-see 68-1899) are held by a nimbed putto at the bottom right. The families to whom these arms belong have not yet been identified.","briefDescription":"Panel of clear and coloured glass with painted details and yellow (silver) stain. Depicting Christ Preaching.
