Il a le cauchemar... is a 1821 ink by Édouard de Beaumont, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a woman reclining on a couch, her head resting on a pillow. She is dressed in a white blouse and dark pants, with her eyes closed as if she is sleeping or daydreaming. The room is dimly lit, with a clock on the wall and a chair in the corner. The woman's expression is serene, and her posture suggests a sense of relaxation. The clock on the wall adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, while the chair in the corner creates a sense of depth and dimensionality. The painting's use of soft colors and gentle lines creates a dreamy atmosphere, inviting the viewer to step into the woman's tranquil world.
