Schlafende (Sleeping Woman) is a 1912 ink by Lovis Corinth, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a woman sleeping on a bed. She's lying on her back with her head on a pillow, and her body is covered by a sheet. The woman's face is relaxed, and her eyes are closed. The painting is done in drypoint, which means it was made by scratching a design onto a metal plate and then printing it onto paper. The artist used a range of lines and shading to create depth and texture in the image. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of Corinth, Lovis.
