«Girl in a Swimsuit» belongs to a group of works in which the “modern” Art Deco motif is combined with the tradition of 19th-century classical cabinet sculpture. The slender female figure is treated in a generalized manner, with attention focused on the proportions of the body, the calm pose, and the clear silhouette. The laconic character of the image accords well with the aesthetics of the interwar period, when sporting themes and a new type of modern woman became widespread in the decorative arts.
