The offered female nude from 1935 is part of the most recognizable trend of Stanislaw Zawadzki's work. The composition belongs to works with a salon approach. It draws attention with academic correctness and craftsmanship of execution, with simultaneous freedom and decorativeness of the conducted patches of color. Accents of red, blue or cool parts of the background, create an intriguing whole.

Zawadzki belonged to the generation of artists educated in the academic circle of the turn of the 20th century (at Wojciech Gerson, Jacek Malczewski, later in Munich and Paris). He gained popularity in portrait subjects or genre scenes.
