On closer inspection of this painting, one can see in the mirror a reflection of what appears to be Czóbel himself, dressed in blue. This shows that it is not merely a nude, but a work that tells another story, captivating the viewer’s gaze.
This work was exhibited in 1969 at the Hungarian gallery ‘Galerie René’ (now closed), during an exhibition dedicated to Béla Czóbel.
