These medallions are probably from a series, such as those found in the Taft Museum of Arts in Cincinnati. The museum has a total of 12 round medallions with scenes from the life of Christ and four other saints, which are attributed to the Pierre Reymond workshop. The identical depiction of St. Jerome with the lion in a rocky landscape and the crucifixion scene are in the museum's inventory as well (Inv. Nos. 1931.511 & 1931.503). The medallions from the Taft Museum have the same dimensions, although the perforations for suspending them differ from the examples on offer. The comparison with a plaque from the Frick Collection, which depicts 'Agony in the Garden' as its central motif and is lined with six enamel medallions, is also worthwhile. One of the six medallions is identical to one of the medallions on offer, which shows John the Baptist. The Frick Collection points out that the round medallions were only assembled with the central plaque in the 19th century, meaning that the medallions may not have originated in the same studio.
