Portrait of Johanna Cornelia Ziesenis-Wattier. The Dutch actress Johanna Wattier was a true diva in her time, renowned for her interpretation of French theatrical roles. Accordingly, Gabriël gave her a self-possessed, almost regal air in this portrait bust. He derived his inspiration from portraits of Napoleon’s mother and sister by his famous teacher, Canova.
