Portraits of the Abbot Suger appear in both the Annunciation Panel of the Nativity window and next to the reclining Jesse in the Jesse Tree panel. The Abbot Suger in the Annunciation panel is mostly 19th century restoration and his portrait is a total 19th century restoration in the Jesse Tree panel.
Abbot Suger appears as a kneeling monk at the feet of Mary in the Annunciation panel of the Nativity window at the east end of St. Denis. The head and hands of the monk are 12th century glass and most of the rest is 19th century.
