Der Polster is Kurzweil's most renowned work, depicting his wife, Martha with her head buried in a cushion and her hand held in a strenuous gesture. While the hidden expression of the protagonist beckons the viewer to complete the scene, Kurzweil's choice of this particular pose suggests a sense of despair and further instills the composition with a feeling of angst.
