Like Cézanne, Adler gives volume to his shapes using brush strokes oriented in distinctive directions, to create the visual impression of planes intersected at different angles. Cézanne was one of the artists with the strongest impact on modern art, including in Eastern Europe, as can be seen in the work of Adolf Adler. Unlike the Impressionists, Cézanne was not only interested in color and light, but also construction and volume.

Surfaces that are actually of a unitary color, acquire on bright areas brushstrokes of warm colors and shaded surfaces, cold colors, especially blue. In addition to the rendering mechanisms of the volume, the influence of Cézanne can be seen also in the way the color is treated, as well as the prominent contour with which the bodies in the work are bordered.

Moving away from Cézanne, Adler uses oil, on small areas of the work, in a freer manner, completely detached from the subject represented. In the case of these surfaces, all that matters is the contrast of the colors themselves and the play of transparency and texture. Through this, the artist approaches as a style several avant-garde movements, contemporary to him.
