Studie van een nimf of godin zittend in de wolken 1715 - 1798

This charcoal drawing, created sometime between 1715 and 1798, is a study for a larger composition by Dutch artist Dionys van Nijmegen. The piece depicts a seated nymph or goddess, possibly a figure from classical mythology. The delicate lines and shading create a sense of movement and volume, highlighting the figure's graceful form. The artist's use of loose, gestural strokes indicates that this was a preliminary sketch, intended to explore the figure's pose and composition before being transferred to a final piece.
