Lot information
This painting is the work of the German painter Nathaniel Sichel, best known for his portraits of women, often stylized into exotic and historical themes. Influenced by the Academic style, Sichel here depicts a young woman in light antique drapery, with her hands raised behind her head, emphasizing her relaxed elegance and graceful pose. The fine processing of the fabric and the smooth lines of the body are typical elements of Sichel's painting technique, which emphasizes detail and idealized beauty. A color palette using muted tones combined with a contrasting background creates depth and emphasizes the centrality of the female figure.
