Brandt's nudes of the late 1940s tend to show the figure in a domestic setting. The use of a police camera led to distorted views that elongated the model's limbs and allowed an extraordinary depth of field. However, in nudes such as the present one from the later 1950s, Brandt abstracts even further and remove all traces of the model's environment.
