Pietro Longhi was a Venetian painter best known for his genre scenes of everyday life. The Sleeping Woman, housed at the Querini Stampalia Foundation in Venice, Italy, captures a moment of casual intimacy. The scene depicts three figures: a woman asleep against a straw-filled building, a man leaning against a large bottle, and another man gazing towards the viewer with a pensive expression. Longhi's paintings are often characterized by a humorous and satirical tone, as well as a keen attention to detail and realistic portrayals of Venetian society.
