The athletic and elegant anatomy of this model and his face with half-closed eyes and open mouth are comparable to Petel's works, including his Saint Sebastian repeated in different materials including ivory in the Bayerische Nationalmuseum, Munich (inv. no. R 4600). The drapery partly covering his nakedness is similar to depictions of Adam after the original sin.
