A French architect told me that rioting Huguenots defaced these figures in the 16th century, considering them idolatrous. The originals are over in the 5e at the Musee de Cluny. Right jamb, from L-R: John the Baptist, Saint Stephen, Saint Genevieve, and Saint Sylvester (PS- The same architect e-mailed me and pointed out that I had this misidentified as The Portal of Saint Anne.)
