More about this artwork

"Whistler Asleep" (1897) by Giovanni Boldini captures a serene moment of rest for the famed artist, James McNeill Whistler. Featuring Boldini's hallmark quick, fluid brushstrokes, this etching is remarkable in its ability to convey both a sense of peace and a vivid presence. The composition shows Whistler in repose, his head resting back on a chair, face slightly turned, with distinctive curls of hair framing his forehead. The sparse, yet powerful lines sketch out Whistler’s features, his closed eyes suggesting a deep slumber.The portrait offers a glimpse into the personal life of Whistler, away from the public eye and in a moment of vulnerability. With a masterful use of shadow and light, Boldini evokes the intimacy and tranquility of the scene. This etching not only highlights Boldini's skill and sensitivity as an artist but also reflects the quieter side of Whistler's character, often overshadowed by his public persona.
