Girl Sleeping on Settee is a 1784 ink by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, depicting Sleep, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a girl sleeping on a settee. She's lying on her side, with her head on a pillow. The artist used simple lines to create this scene, which makes it feel quiet and still. The girl's face is relaxed, and her hands are loose. This etching is interesting because it's a simple, everyday moment. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: etching.
Daniel Niklaus Chodowiecki (16 October 1726 – 7 February 1801) was a German painter and printmaker of Huguenot and Polish ancestry, who is most famous as an etcher.
