It depicts a character from the medieval period in armor (Knight) belonging to the Order of the Templars.

Maurice Constant (or Maurice Favre) was a sculptor and engraver born in Paris in 1875, a student at the Julian Academy, became a member of the French Artists Society in 1907, and exhibited at the Salon from 1896 to 1914. He received commissions from the French state (busts of generals) and also sculpted a bust of Anatole France for the Comédie Française.
