Doux repos 

Victor Gabriel Gilbert's *Doux repos* is a captivating portrait painting featuring a woman in a white gown reclining on a blue background, her eyes closed in a peaceful sleep. The painting, likely created during the late 19th or early 20th century, employs a loose, impressionistic style with visible brushstrokes. Gilbert's meticulous attention to detail is apparent in the woman's delicate features, the intricate lace of her dress, and the subtle texture of the book she holds in her hand. The overall sense of tranquility and repose evokes a sense of serenity and beauty, capturing a moment of quiet contemplation.
