Schiele created intense figurative pencil drawings with similarly refined and expressive draftsmanship, often focusing on the human form with psychological depth and precise linear technique that closely mirrors Bellmer's approach in this musician portrait.

Balthus produced meticulous pencil figure studies with a similarly mysterious and contemplative mood, often depicting figures engaged in quiet aesthetic activities, sharing Bellmer's precise draughtsmanship and interest in the female figure.

Delvaux created highly refined figurative drawings and works featuring female figures in dreamlike or aesthetically charged settings, sharing with Bellmer a surrealist sensibility combined with classical drafting skill visible in this pencil study.
