Sleeping Muse II 1917

"Sleeping Muse II" (1917) is a bronze sculpture by Constantin Brâncuși, one of his most iconic works. The sculpture depicts a stylized, idealized female head in a state of serene slumber, captured in an abstract form that emphasizes essential elements of the human form. The smooth, polished surface and the simplified features create a sense of timeless beauty, reflecting Brâncuși's modernist aesthetic and exploration of form and simplicity.
