「他們的感受比容貌更重要。外表軀殼之下應該是有血有肉的人。」 ── 喬治·康多
喬治·康多筆下帶有矯飾主義風格的肖像畫通常怪異荒誕，畫中人更是來自他天馬行空的想像；然而此作卻一反常態，散發著端柔溫婉的氣息。畫中人是聖女貞德，西方歷史上無人不識的女性英雄，藝術史對這個不可侵犯的聖女形象一直有既定的描畫，作品多如恆河沙數，康多此作令人自然而然地聯想起這些前人鉅作。一眾歐洲古典油畫對其創作甚巨影響，並在作品中處處透露自己的靈感來源。他筆下的人物意象從來不止取自一位模特兒，他用大量時間鑽研古典油畫，其深入程度連瑪格麗特·布雷姆（Margrit Brehm）都不禁如此形容：「形式和內涵融為一體，並透過作品的敘事結構和畫中人的情緒來檢視技法。」（『傳統如誘惑，「喬治·康多法」析論』，〈喬治·康多：百名女性〉，漢傑·坎茨出版社，二〇〇五年，22頁）
此作遵隨傳統，與康多的其他作品相比顯得循規蹈矩；然而，康多其實別出機杼，將歷來的貞德形象濃縮至其共同的本質，再藉此作呈現出來。這幅《聖女貞德》取材自眾多迥異的繪畫風格，把藝術史上的貞德畫作糅合內化，更加凸顯了康多捕捉深層複雜心理的獨門造詣。畫中的貞德臉龐微微上揚，目光熱切，流露出這位殉道烈女堅定不移的信念；她的頸項稍微拉長，無疑出自康多的標誌手筆，呼應其作品一貫以來的超現實怪誕。
