Asleep 1937

"Asleep" (1937) by Czech surrealist painter Toyen is a haunting depiction of a solitary figure. The woman, clothed in a white gown with black accents, walks away from the viewer, her back turned, holding a net in one hand. The woman’s figure, along with the ominous, dreamlike landscape, evokes a sense of isolation and mystery, characteristic of the Surrealist movement.
