It is only from 1912 that the person of Wally is clearly identifiable in Schiele's work and was his preferred model for the following three years. One of the first documents in this regard is the delicate pencil drawing showing Wally as a semi-nude. Soft, fluid lines have replaced the expressive language of earlier years. At times, the lines are interrupted, the organic coherence of the figure is dissolved and the viewer's gaze is thus drawn to the centre of the body with the pubic area visible under the gaping blouse. The verso study of a female back nude, also dated 1912, shows analogous stylistic features.
