Iza Sleeping (Le Sommeil d'Iza)

About this work

This painting shows a woman sleeping on a couch. The woman is wearing a long dress and has her head resting on her arm. The room is dimly lit, with a candle burning on a table nearby. The woman's face is peaceful, and her body is relaxed. The couch is covered in a patterned fabric, and there are some books and papers scattered around the room. The painting is done in muted colors, with lots of shadows and soft lighting. It's a quiet and intimate scene, and it feels like the woman is in a private moment.
