"Zittende vrouw in Japanse kleding" is a drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The work depicts a woman in traditional Japanese clothing, seated and holding a fan. Gestel, known for his distinctive line work and use of color, captured the figure with delicate precision. The artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies his interest in capturing the beauty and elegance of human subjects. It is a striking example of his use of expressive lines and subtle color washes to depict a moment of quiet contemplation.
