The drawing (pencil, wax crayon, watercolour) shows a woman with exposed vulva emphasized with colors representing the center of the artwork. The only content of the drawing is the woman whose face remains anonymous, she is depicted free from any superimposed mythological context (Venus or legendary figure). By its intimacy the drawing reminds the viewer of Courbet's painting "The Origin of the World", with the difference that the entire body is shown and presented in abstracted way. For its contents, expressiveness and abstraction this artwork points towards Modernism.
