The model posing is Marie-Thérèse Walter who is described in a tangled web of lines. Her presence is usually indicated by a vase of flowers. By contrast, the sculptor and the sculpture he is working on are drawn with just a few crisp lines. The sculpture recalls the classical Venus of Modesty, viewed from the rear.
