The title of the work references a remark made by Russian historian Andrei Korliakov to Mikołaj Sobczak when questioned about the relationship between Parisians, homosexuals, and Jews in the 20th Century. Rendered in a style notably reminiscent of Modernist painting in general and New Objectivity specifically, the work juxtaposes a solitary male figure against a background populated by individuals publicly engaging in acts of intimacy.
