About this work

A naked man with closed eyes and hair falling over his shoulders. In the background, a building with towers. In the bottom right, three lines from the poem 'O mon Dieu, vous m'avez blessé d'amour' by the French poet Paul Verlaine: 'O mon Dieu, votre crainte m'a frappé / Et la brûlure est encor là qui tonne / O mon Dieu votre crainte m'a frappé'.
