Note du spécialiste

This intriguingly opaque composition clearly depicts Christ on the right, looking intensely at an androgynous figure, possibly a young woman, or possibly the beloved disciple, John. The cropped composition and lack of background create a disquieting intensity increased by the ambiguity of the second figure.
