"Kopf eines schlafenden Kleinkindes" (Head of a Sleeping Child) is a red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Guido Reni. The drawing, housed at the Städel Museum, showcases Reni's mastery of capturing delicate details and conveying a sense of quiet repose. The composition focuses solely on the child's head, emphasizing the soft contours of the face and the gentle curve of the sleeping form. The use of red chalk creates a sense of warmth and intimacy, inviting the viewer to share in the child's peaceful slumber. This drawing is a testament to Reni's skill in capturing the essence of human vulnerability and tranquility through his art.
