Second modello for Jean d´Aire. Museo Soumaya

After the first group modello, he made individual studies of each figure.

Jean d'Aire

The first such study of d'Aire was nude, followed by one partially covered in a kind of toga and with the noose round his neck more obvious. He holds a cushion bearing the keys of Calais and is drawn to the left by the noose. A bronze cast of this second version is now in the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City and other collections.^[1]^[2]
