The present model is related to a series of reliefs that the artist produced beginning in 1915. It is particularly close to Reclining Woman (c. 1917), Dusk (1917) and Nude Dancing (1917). See G. Nordland, Gaston Lachaise: The Man and His Work, New York, 1974, pp. 118-126 for a full discussion of the artist's bas-reliefs.
