Sleep Overcomes Them, Plate 34 is a 1799 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a woman sitting on the ground, with her head resting on her right arm, which is bent at the elbow. She is surrounded by three people lying on the ground, all wearing white clothing. The woman is dressed in a long, dark-colored dress and has her left arm resting on her lap. The background of the painting is dark, with a large archway on the left side. The woman's pose and the dark background create a sense of melancholy and introspection. The three people lying on the ground appear to be sleeping or unconscious, adding to the somber mood of the painting. This painting is a work by Francisco de Goya (Spanish, 1746–1828).
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
