This painted vault panel depicts St Michael the Archangel performing the psychostasia, the weighing of souls at the Last Judgement. Shown full-length within a triangular vault compartment, Michael stands frontally, dressed in a red mantle over a darker tunic, and with large, pale wings filling the background. His expression is calm and composed, in keeping with late medieval devotional imagery that emphasises the archangel’s role as an impartial judge.

In his left hand he holds a set of balances, one pan containing a small kneeling soul, rendered as a diminutive white figure in prayer. A dark, clawed form, now heavily worn but still visible, grips the opposite pan, representing the attempt of a demon to tip the scales. Michael’s raised right hand, holding a slender staff or sword, reinforces his protective and judicial authority.

The painting is executed on a deep red ground, typical of mid- to late-15th-century regional workshop practice, and the modelling of the drapery and face shows the simplified but expressive style associated with rural churches of the Loire region. Though worn, the image remains a striking example of the period’s eschatological wall painting, combining clear narrative symbolism with decorative integration into the chapel’s ribbed vaulting.
