The only portrait in this series that depicts a head in strict profile, this drawing bears close similarities to the Saint Philip at the Museo de Bellas Artes of Córdoba, as Alfonso Pérez Sánchez and Benito Navarrete Prieto have observed.[1] The eye was emphasized in brown ink.

1. Oil on canvas, 44 x 35 in. (112 x 89 cm), Córdoba, Museo de Bellas Artes. See Pérez Sánchez and Navarrete Prieto (dirs.) 2005, 145. It is also similar, though less so, to the Saint Bartholomew from the same series (44 7/8 x 35 in. (114 x 89 cm), Córdoba, Museo de Bellas Artes, inv. no. CE2336P), although in the painting the apostle's image is reversed with regard to the drawing.
