Portrait of Raymond Radiguet is among Jacques Lipchitz's earliest portrait sculptures and reflects his practice of portraying friends and writers who intrigued him. Here, Lipchitz is capturing the young poet’s remarkable maturity and emphasising his strikingly defined facial structure and refined features.
