(Even though in ecclesiastical circles opposition against this scene as an example of matrimony could be heard, the artist kept on defending it.) Mary, with a posy of white flowers in her hand, has cast down her eyes, while Joseph is looking at her longingly. In the background a Jewish priest is raising his hands in prayer. Next to him there are a pair of doves and above him also two doves.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main tableau is surrounded by four scenes with Joseph and Mary, each identified as \u201cMth. 1:18-25\u201d, whereas each scene goes back to one single verse of this text.\n<ul>\n<li>(B) top left: Joseph is sad when he sees Mary pregnant, but \u201c<em>since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, he decided to divorce her quietly<\/em>\u201d (v.19).<\/li>\n<li>(C) top right: Joseph\u2019s dream in which an angel sets his mind at rest: \u201c<em>Such was his intention (to divorce her) when, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, \u2018Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.

Also here the artist permitted himself a far-reaching narrative interpretation, which contrasted sharply with the tendencies of abstraction arising in those days, mainly in religious stained-glass windows. Joseph, a mallet in his hand, stops his activities for a while and looks at Mary, who is spinning. In the foreground we see a few loafs of bread on a slab and a couple of jugs, in the background there is donkey in the adjacent stable. With this Jan Huet (the artist) wants to evoke the inner joy at the expectation of the Messiah in a climate of quietness and harmony.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">tracery, top:\n<ul>\n<li>(G) Adam and Eve as the prototype of the natural bond between man and woman.<\/li>\n<li>(H) Lady Poverty and Saint Francis of Assisi as an example of a spiritual bond.
