More about this artwork

"Woman Sleeping" is a poignant and intimate sketch by the Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe, dated 1882. Rendered with soft, flowing lines, this work captures a serene moment of a woman in the tranquil embrace of sleep. The subject is comfortably nestled in an armchair, her relaxed posture and gentle bent of the head evoking a sense of peace and repose. The sketch is minimalist but expressive, with van Rysselberghe masterfully using shadow and light to enhance the quietude of the scene.The piece subtly communicates the inherent beauty of everyday moments. The rendering of the fabric of her dress and the chair suggests softness and warmth, adding to the overall tenderness of the work. A solitary wall fixture in the background contributes to the composition’s simplicity, directing the viewer’s full attention to the slumbering figure.
