In a first photograph, Étude pour Le Violon d'Ingres, she is seen of profile, with her face and breasts visible.[3] In the final picture, she is depicted in a similar way to the female model of Ingres, nude and seated, looking slightly to her left, seen from the back and with an oriental inspired turban. Her arms are not visible. After the photograph was developed, he painted on a print the f-holes of a violin onto her back, and had the print rephotographed, creating the present work of art.[4]
