Window 204 consists of two tall lancets forming part of the celebrated early thirteenth-century clerestory glazing of Bourges Cathedral. The saints represented, Andrew on the left and John the Evangelist on the right, are shown as full-height standing figures beneath architectural canopies, framed by the characteristic geometric borders of the Bourges workshop.

Window w.206 forms part of the major early 13th-century glazing programme of the choir clerestory at Bourges Cathedral. Like the other apostolic lancets in this zone, it presents three full-length apostles standing beneath architectural canopies, each framed by the characteristic red–blue geometric borders of the Bourges workshop. The style, palette, and facial types align closely with the glazing campaigns dated to c.1210–1215.
Window w.210 forms part of the southern clerestory apostolic cycle of Bourges Cathedral. Created in the first decades of the 13th century, this scheme is contemporary with the cathedral’s great choir and represents one of the finest ensembles of High Gothic stained glass in France.
Window w.212, located high in the south choir clerestory of Bourges Cathedral, dates from c.1210–1215 and belongs to the earliest glazing phase of the High Gothic choir. The window presents two Evangelists, Mark and Luke, and one Apostle, Matthias.
This trio forms part of a wider apostolic–evangelist cycle distributed around the clerestory, each figure shown as a monumental standing saint set within a richly patterned Gothic frame.
