This statue of the Virgin dates from the 14th century. It comes from the Saint-Aignan chapel, which served the canons in the cloister of Notre-Dame. After the Revolution, it was installed in the trumeau of the Virgin’s portal. In 1855, Viollet-le-Duc decided to place it in front of the pillar at the entrance to the choir.

This stained glass window, signed by Didron in 1864, presents Jesse lying down, similar to a felled tree, his cheek resting on his right hand in a gesture of meditation, with his eyes closed, entirely absorbed in his inner vision. As seen in Chartres or the Sainte-Chapelle, David and Solomon settle in the branches, accompanied by other kings who are ancestors of Christ.
