Sleeping Girl is a 1615 oil by Domenico Fetti, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
The painting "Sleeping Girl" shows a young woman with her head resting on a table, her eyes closed as if she's asleep. She's wearing a white dress with puffy sleeves and a red and gold patterned fabric is draped over the table. The background is dark, which makes the girl stand out. The girl's face is relaxed, and her hands are gently placed on the table. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a smooth and detailed look. The artist used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast between light and dark areas. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, you could look up more information on the technique.
