"Yet despite this calm attitude, the figure throbs with movement; we can already see it passing from the left leg to the right and back to the left, swinging, elastic; it seems to prevent the action of her arms. And so the contour lines, the planes of the surface from the tips of the feet to the head with a slightly tired and nervous expression, up to the curls of the hair, all appear moved, fluctuating, continually varying direction and relief. Movement in rest: this is how the impression produced by this figure could be summed up. (Emanuel Löwy)"
