The half-act of a woman depicted sitting on a sofa or an armchair is a geometric composition painted with strong, broad brush strokes. Marian Rzędowski has used a saturated though limited palette, which in combination with the simplified drawing, especially in the part of the face, gives expression to the work, while the deliberate underpainting revealing the texture of the cardboard gives it rawness and dynamism. A detail-painted fragment of the background, suggesting a view from the window on a block of flats, betrays the architectural education and practice of the author.
