1853
unspecified
From the collection of Uffizi Gallery
The-Drowsy-One is a 1853 unspecified by Friedrich von Amerling, held at Uffizi Gallery.
This painting shows a woman reclining on a bed, her eyes closed as if she's sleeping or drowsy. She's dressed in a white, lace-trimmed gown that's slipped off one shoulder, and her dark hair cascades down her back. Beside her, a child is breastfeeding, holding onto a yellow ribbon that's draped across the woman's chest. The woman's face is serene, and her body language conveys a sense of relaxation. The child, on the other hand, appears more alert, with their eyes fixed on the woman's face. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet intimacy. If you're interested in exploring more works that feature breastfeeding as a subject, you might want to look up the artist Friedrich von Amerling.
Friedrich Ritter von Amerling (14 April 1803 – 14 January 1887) was an Austrian portrait painter in the court of Franz Josef.
