This drawing—likely an early work in what Kostabi refers to as his art-nouveau-influenced style—exposes the sexual dynamics inherent in the historical convention of the female nude.

Mark Kostabi became notorious for publicity stunts such as a 1987 help-wanted ad in which he advertised for studio assistants to come up with ideas for Kostabi-brand paintings as well as to paint them under his signature.
