I believe it is Pierre Noblet in the picture but I am not entirely sure.

The 1963 Le Mans poster is part of the so-called "Major Illustrators" era in Le Mans posters which lasted from 1954 - 1963 and in which the cream of the crop of French motorsport illustrators such as Geo Ham, Jeudon and Michel Beligond were hired for the design of the race posters.
The poster shows a fantastic image, by G. Laygnac, of the winning make of the previous year, Ferrari.
Although the 1962 winner is depicted, the poster is of a much more symbolic nature than previous years.
The idea of time is overwhelmingly present, as is that of speed which is symbolized by the whirlpool.
This poster marked the end of an era after which illustrations would be replaced by photographs.
The race itself was won by Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti in their Nr 21 Ferrari 250 P S/N 0814 with a total of 339 laps to their name.
