Actually, the request originated at a stained glass museum. A friend visited recently and learned the museum has two windows which are a complete mystery to them. ANYTHING you can tell us about them would be helpful.

To THE BIBLE IN PAINTINGS Ping-Listers: Can you tell us about these windows? Thanks in advance!

The first one almost looks like it may have been a commission from the late 1800’s (mustache style and hair). Maybe the founder of a wealthy family?

I don’t know about the second one, but the first one is called “Houdini and Adoring Fan”.

The top one seems to be Paul and Lydia..........
The bottom one appears to be a Roman Centurion...........

The second one is titled “Young Joe Biden Goes F8shing”.

RushIsMyTeddyBear has a point about the mustache, and clearly a lot of time and care went into the crafting of these panels, which would drive up the price.
To me, this looks like work done by an outside artist/craftsman owing to the largely monochromatic color schemes. The glass and the use of the glass looks modern.

Hmmm.
Considering yesterday’s 500+ YO Flower Power Jesus, this mysterious mustached man could be from anywhere in any time.
Maybe that’s why he’s wearing chains — the irony of trying to pin him down.
The child in the second image had just caught the wedding bouquet. Looks like quick work in getting her matched up on account of the wedding blessing.
Did I do a good job? 🤣

Though the pic doesn't show it, the man's feet/ankles are manacled too.
Both men have high - just below the knee - boots, and both contain a figure kneeling/requesting/appealing to the man.
I tried searching for a similar image and came up with nada.
