Sibylle before 1807

"Sibylle" is a portrait painting by Johannes Emilius Phaff, created before 1807. The painting depicts a young woman, likely Sibylle, in a red dress and a white turban. She is seated and holding a book, possibly a scroll, in her lap, while gazing upwards. The painting showcases Phaff's mastery of portraiture and his attention to detail in depicting the sitter's expression and attire. The use of rich colors and the soft lighting create a sense of depth and intimacy, characteristic of his style. This miniature portrait, created using watercolor on paper, is a testament to the artist's skill and the beauty of the sitter.
