This bronze is part of the desire of the famous Polish sculptor who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (Austria) to emancipate himself from Rodin's pre-eminent style, which he studied with Madeleine Jouvray, a pupil of the Master and professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, during his stay in the French capital at the beginning of the 20th century. The smooth and simplified curves of this nude meet the characteristics of a new European classicism in which the sculptor takes part.
