Head raised, frowning eyebrows and hand holding his mantle resting on his heart, Saint John, Jesus' favourite apostle, was
standing at the foot of the cross. In a calm and very interior attitude, he reflected a
modest pain, only animated by the series of vertical folds and his long wavy hair. The slightly
contrapposto attitude and the slender, curved shape of the material bear witness to the practice of a skilful artist, accustomed to
working with ivory.
