Since I can't see the image you're referring to, I can't provide specific features shown in it. However, in relation to portals in Gothic architecture, especially for the Saint Annes Portal of Notre Dame in Paris, we can discuss common features you might find:

  1. Rose Window: This is typically a circular stained glass window that is often found above portals and is a very prominent feature in Gothic architecture.

  2. Archivolts: These are the curved moldings or arches that surround the tympanum of the portal.

  3. Lintels: This refers to the horizontal beams or slabs that span the space between two vertical supports at the level of the doorway.

  4. Tympanum: This is the semi-circular or triangular decorative wall surface above the door, typically filled with relief sculptures or carvings.

If the image includes any of these architectural elements, you would select them based on their presence. If you need to identify the features shown in the image, please match them with the descriptions provided above.
