Bánáti Sverák Artist notes on Painting
In the painting below not only the main character, a naked female figure standing in the middle but also the side characters, whose models, as tradition says, were some of the town-dwellers, and who - in spite of all the gesticulations - participate in the scene standing motionless around the sinner, looking in the distance. The female nude also represents a beauty ideal of some kind, with an idealized face character and a posture recalling that of the slave awakening from his dream created by Michelangelo. The picture is saturated with a melancholic feeling enhanced with the colours covered in grey tones.
