Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.

Marcel René von Herrfeldt's paintings are above all to be understood as sensual and ecstatic homages to the beauty of the female body. As a pupil of Franz von Stuck, he was influenced by the exuberant opulence and beguiling eroticism of the fin de siècle. In the present work, an unapproachable blonde gazes into the distance, dressed in a silver shimmering, transparent negligee. She appears to be naked and dressed at the same time. This garment began its seductive triumphal march in the interwar period and, through legendary actresses such as Jean Harlow or Rita Hayworth, became a weapon of a new type of woman, the self-confident femme fatale.
A mysterious, cool blonde with a pale complexion is quite rare in the painter's oeuvre, as he was mainly interested in dark-haired ladies with tanned skin, embodying vivacious Mediterranean women. Also a negligee or similar garments rarely appear in his œuvre, as he mostly painted nudes. A renowned connoisseur of Herrfeldt, Mr Thomas Krause, therefore suspects that the present work was commissioned.

Marcel René von Herrfeldts Gemälde sind vor allem als lustvolle und ekstatische Huldigungen an die Schönheit des weiblichen Körpers zu verstehen. Als Schüler von Franz von Stuck war er geprägt von der überbordenden Opulenz und betörenden Erotik des Fin de Siècle. Im vorliegenden Werk blickt eine unnahbare Blondine in die Ferne, gekleidet in ein silbern schimmerndes, transparentes Negligé. Sie wirkt dadurch nackt und angezogen zugleich. Dieses Kleidungsstück begann seinen verführerischen Siegeszug in der Zwischenkriegszeit und rückte durch legendäre Schauspielerinnen wie Jean Harlow oder Rita Hayworth zur Waffe eines neuen Frauentypus auf, den der selbstbewussten Femme fatale.
Eine geheimnisvolle, kühle Blondine mit blassem Teint findet man recht selten im Gesamtwerk des Malers, denn er interessierte sich vor allem für dunkelhaarige Damen mit gebräunter Haut, temperamentvolle Südländerinnen verkörpernd. Auch ein Negligé oder ähnliche Kleidungsstücke tauchen selten in seinem Œuvre auf, da er zumeist Akte malte. Ein ausgewiesener Connaisseur Herrfeldts, Herr Thomas Krause, vermutet daher, dass es sich bei dem vorliegenden Werk um eine Auftragsarbeit handelt.
