Description
These jamb figures are found on the right side of the central portal of the north transept of Notre Dame cathedral in Chartres, France. As was traditional in the construction of Catholic churches, the statues and bas relief sculptures on the north side often represented Old Testament and transitional figures. In this case we see, left to right, Isiah, Jeremiah, Simeon with Jesus, St. John the Baptist, and St. Peter.
