Lison dormait is a 1786 ink by Philippe Triere, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a young woman reclines on the ground, leaning against a stack of hay or straw. She wears a long dress and a hat, with a basket beside her. A man, dressed in 18th-century attire, stands nearby, holding a door open with one hand and reaching out to the woman with the other. Two children and a dog are also present in the scene. The setting appears to be a rural area, possibly a farm or a village, with a thatched roof visible in the background. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and simplicity.
