From the expert assessment by PhDr. Karel Srp: "This drawing shows the very delicate position of Jan Zrzavý, who was approached by the art of the Italian Renaissance. He was inspired by portraits from around 1500. Although the head is stylized, it is very likely that Zrzavý could have a specific starting point for its type of artwork and the actual design suggests how he was able to accurately express body volume with a simple stroke that characterized the whole body, but also how he was able to model them almost imperceptibly. In this sense, it is a perfect drawing, which also offers a number of interpretations concerning the transitions between male and female, which were typical of Zrzavý's lifelong work. "
