Louis Pierre Deseine was an accomplished sculptor of the Neoclassical period. In the Restoration period, he produced important busts of contemporary figures, particularly members of the royal family. He also devoted himself extensively to anatomical drawing, a fundamental skill for a sculptor.

The École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris preserves an album of sketches entirely dedicated to L’Écorché (The Flayed Man), one of which shows notable affinities with the present drawing.
