After applying the principles of Cézanne and Matisse, the decorative plainness and the tense expressivity of the Bergen period, Czóbel had created a hardly changing, typical style of his own by the early 1920s. Instead of form divided and interpreted with contours, Czóbel tried to find softer and less formal solutions. This is what gives his pictures a kind of lyric and personal touch. The canvass is treated without any "discrimination", there is no such thing as emphasized or not emphasized. Clear and lively colours still dominate the picture of his Les Fauves period. He retains space but he mixes it with plane-like portrayal, as a result his objects often lose balance. The picture in the picture, a typical element of studios, a portrait of the painter, provides for deeper space, which is not typical of Czóbel.
