The Invalid is a 1870 oil by Louis Lang, a Realism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a woman reclining on a bed, her head resting on a pillow. She is dressed in a dark jacket over a white dress, with her right arm bent and her hand holding a fan. Her left arm lies across an open book on her lap. The woman's gaze is directed to the left, and her expression appears somber. The background of the painting features a wall with a window on the left side, allowing natural light to enter the room. A small table beside the bed holds a vase with flowers. The overall atmosphere of the painting conveys a sense of quiet contemplation. For more information on the artist behind this piece, look up Louis Lang.
