The present work "is from the period when Nadelman fully realized his curvilinear system—even as the cubic rectilinear grid was first being explored by Picasso, Reminiscences of Classical sculpture pervade this abstract female form whose graceful movement is achieved by a disciplined structure of contoured lines." (S.C. Larsen, "The Lure of the Modern," in American Images: The SBC Collection of Twentieth-Century American Art, New York, 1996, pp. 60-61)
