Este torso desnudo de mujer es la síntesis expresiva de Inurria en su culto estético al desnudo femenino. En él, ha prescindido de lo personal para centrarse en lo que un desnudo femenino tiene de universal. El cuerpo de mujer, sin brazos, piernas ni cabeza, es utilizado por Inurria para realizar un estudio equilibrado y armónico de las formas más genuinamente sexuales de la mujer. Formalmente, Inurria trata el cuerpo con una esquisitez de formas y con una suavidad de líneas como en ninguna otra de sus obras. La tensión muscular, las curvaturas de las formas, las proporciones, son expresión de un auténtico equilibrio. A pesar de no tener rostro, brazos ni piernas, el torso es pura expresión en sí mismo por su belleza y por la erguida y desafiante postura que ofrece.La obra original en mármol le valió a Inurria la Medalla de Honor en la Exposición Nacional de 1920.
