"At the sides, the Pious Women in an attitude of amazement and devotion, rendered with refined use of pictorial glazing on glass. The upper band is enriched with symbolic elements and cartouches with the theological and Christian virtues: Faith, Hope, Love, Peace, Joy, inserted into a neo-Gothic architectural decoration with columns, arches and polychrome ornamental motifs. The overall workmanship is of a good standard, with careful modelling of the faces, drapery rich in chiaroscuro and a luminous palette dominated by cobalt blues, ruby reds and golden yellows.
