Slapende man 1886 - 1903

"Slapende man" ("Sleeping Man") is a charcoal sketch by Dutch painter George Hendrik Breitner, created between 1886 and 1903. The work depicts a figure lying on a bed, their face obscured by a blanket, their head resting on a pillow, perhaps in a moment of rest or sleep. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Breitner's distinctive style characterized by rapid, expressive strokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the moment.
