Known as "Sleep" 1885 - 1899

"Sleep" is a bronze relief by Alexandre-Louis-Marie Charpentier created between 1885 and 1899. The artwork depicts a nude female figure seated in a contemplative pose, her head resting on her hand. The figure's relaxed posture and subtle expression convey a sense of tranquility and repose, while the shallow relief creates a sense of intimacy and closeness. The work is a testament to Charpentier's skill in capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the human form. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
