Before bedtime 

"Before Bedtime" is a painting by French artist Delphin Enjolras, depicting a woman in a nightgown reading a letter by the light of a lamp in a richly furnished interior. Enjolras, known for his works that often feature beautiful women in elegant settings, captures a moment of intimate reflection, drawing the viewer into the quiet and personal atmosphere of the scene. The painting exemplifies the style of academic realism popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its meticulous attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the subject.
