Norwid sleeping is a 1885 oil by Pantaleon Szyndler, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a man reclining on a couch, with his head resting on a pillow. His right arm is bent, and his hand is placed near his face. The man's facial features are not clearly defined, and his body is partially obscured by the couch. The image appears to be a portrait of a man in a relaxed state, possibly sleeping or daydreaming. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall mood of the piece. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Pantaleon Szyndler, who was known for his realistic and detailed depictions of everyday life.
Pantaleon Józef Szyndler or Szendler (26 July 1846, Lipie – 31 January 1905, Warsaw) was a Polish painter in the Academic style.
