The Man-Servant of Limier Rising from Bed is a 1818 by Horace Vernet, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
A man sits up in bed, rubbing his eyes and yawning. He’s wearing a loose shirt and cap, one leg still tucked under the covers. A wooden chair and a small table with a pitcher sit nearby. A window lets in dim light, and a mirror hangs crookedly on the wall. The room looks lived-in, with a few tools and a basket on the floor. The artist focused on the rough textures of the clothes and the worn furniture. If you like this everyday scene, check out Romanticism.
Émile Jean-Horace Vernet (French pronunciation: ; 30 June 1789 – 17 January 1863), better known as Horace Vernet, was a French painter of battles, portraits, and Orientalist subjects.
