On a plain background, the figure of a man with a dark complexion and jet-black beard and hair stands out. The model, of which we only see the profile, is represented as a bust, highlighting her powerful musculature. On his left shoulder lies white and red fur, brushed with large, rapid brushstrokes. Is it a portrait of a man in Saint John the Baptist, for whom fur is one of the main attributes? If the identity of our subject has unfortunately been lost, no doubt the man depicted is a studio model. Jean Delvin, already shows here all his talent as a portraitist for which he will later be recognized.
