Description
West Façade, Left Portal
Left Jamb Figures - General View
Three elongated jamb statues are on the left side of the left portal. All have canopies and stand on figural bases. The leftmost has a female head on a male body (probably a replacement). The next is a male figure with a crown holding a staff (scepter?) and a book. The rightmost is a female figure with an unusually small head - perhaps it was recut. Many scholars link the style of these jamb figures with those of the nearby St. Michael's of Etampes. Note the capital frieze above them.
