In this delicately executed work, the viewer encounters the Virgin Mary, depicted in a peaceful slumber.

The painting carries a strong narrative weight, with each character exuding a distinct emotional presence, from contemplation to devoted sorrow.Mehoffer’s use of bold colors and dramatic lines adds a vivid texture to the work, making "Asleep of Mary" a striking example of his unique artistic style.
