Charles Le Brun's "Le Soir Ou Morphée" depicts a reclining, winged figure with a dark, feathered cloak. The figure is identified as Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams, and embodies the idea of sleep. The composition is centered on the figure with a dramatic, almost theatrical gesture, a hallmark of Le Brun's style. This Baroque ceiling painting, likely from the 17th century, uses rich colors and intricate detail to evoke a sense of majesty and grandeur.
