Seated Woman (Drama) is a bronze maquette for the statue at the apex of the pediment of the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet building in Ljubljana.

In 1890–1892 Alojz Gangl, on commission from the Carniolan Provincial Committee, devoted himself to the sculptural ornamentation of Ljubljana’s Provincial Theatre. He enriched the façade of the neo-Renaissance Opera house with a neo-Baroque figural composition above the pediment titled Genius of the Theatre with Opera and Drama (1892), made of fine-grained yellowish sandstone, and the statues of Comedy and Tragedy (1892–1893) in the niches. The sculptures were influenced by August Bartholdi’s much imitated Statue of Liberty and by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s sculpture La Danse, decorating the façade of the Palais Garnier in Paris.

Two female allegories are seated alongside Genius; on his left is the nude Opera (the drapery only covers her left leg), holding a lyre, while on his right is the clothed and veiled Drama. Their bodies are turned to their respective sides and the position of their legs completes the pyramidal composition.
