Sitting woman 

This watercolor sketch, "Sitting Woman," by Johann Georg von Dillis depicts a woman seated in profile, wearing a simple blue dress and a yellow shawl. Dillis, a prominent German painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his portraits and historical scenes. This study, housed at the Städel Museum, demonstrates his sensitive use of watercolor, capturing the figure's soft features and delicate drapery. The composition and subtle brushwork lend a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, typical of portraiture in the Neoclassical style.
