This painting shows a woman sleeping. She's lying down with her eyes closed. The artist used simple lines to draw her, which makes the picture feel quiet and still. The woman is the main focus of the picture. The background is plain, so we look at her face and clothes. This helps us think about what she might be dreaming. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: lithography.
