Ottilia is a 1918 oil by Giovanni Giacometti, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a woman with her eyes closed, surrounded by lush greenery. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a light-colored shirt with a button at the top. The background is a mix of greens, blues, and yellows, with visible brushstrokes. The woman's face is rendered in soft, gentle strokes, while the foliage behind her is more vibrant and textured. The overall effect is one of serenity and calmness. The painting is a beautiful example of early 20th-century art. To learn more about the artist's style and technique, look up Giovanni Giacometti.
