Snowdrop and the seven little men is a 1899 unspecified by John D. Batten, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a woman sleeping in a bed, surrounded by seven small men in red robes. They are gathered around her, some holding candles or other objects. The scene is set in a room with wooden walls and a window in the background. The woman is dressed in a white nightgown and lies on her side, with her head resting on her arm. The men are all wearing red hoods and robes, and some have beards. They appear to be watching over the woman as she sleeps. The painting has a warm, golden tone, with soft lighting that creates a sense of intimacy and quiet. The artist, John D. Batten, uses chiaroscuro to create depth and dimension in the scene.
