Personally, I think Jean Cayeux a much finer iris than the equally famous Copper Lustre. There is less marking at the haft, the falls are a better shape, the standards are slightly ruffled, but just as open. The color is pale Havana brown with a golden glint, subdued when the shadows are long by the touch of blue in the venation and at the end of the beard.
