« [...] stained glass window in Hardin's St. Norbert's Catholic Church [Illinois]. Marquette is shown with his canoe approaching the riverbank, greeting an Indian with a cross raised in his right hand. The panel on the left contains a quiver full of arrows and a tee-pee on the right. Installed in 1946 under the direction of Fr. Edmond Butler, the new church windows were made by Seele Art Glass Co., of Webster Groves, Missouri, and designed in one unified artistic program. » 2012 Nelson, p. 155-156.

Marquette est barbu et chevelu à la manière de 1869 Lamprecht, debout dans son canot, de profil, auréole, regardant vers le ciel, tenant une croix. Une iconographie qui en fait pratiquement un saint.
