Cf. Berger, Ursel: Georg Kolbe - Leben und Werk, mit dem Katalog der Kolbe-Plastiken im Georg-Kolbe-Museum, p. 290, no. 87 "While most of the smaller bronzes from 1924-26 appear to be immersed in light-hearted motion, the >kneeling woman< expresses peace and contemplation. But even this sculpture is not entirely relaxed: the arms are streched slightly sideways, the hands somewhat tense, her head tilted, and the toes are the only part of her feet touching the ground. The young woman seems to be entirely occupied by internal tension. Her posture, her sensitive features with the eyes half-closed, as well as the vibrant surface all contribute to animate the sculpture. Neither her beauty nor her nudity seem to be directed at an observer; rather she appears to be carefully contemplating her innermost self. The thoughts and feelings that move her must be pleasant and serene: as is reflected by her appearance." (Berger, Ursel: Georg Kolbe - Leben und Werk, mit dem Katalog der Kolbe-Plastiken im Georg-Kolbe-Museum, p. 291
