The Four Sleepers c. mid 19th century

"The Four Sleepers" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Mori Jihō, dating to the mid-19th century. The artwork, held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, depicts a scene of three figures sleeping. The composition features a tiger nestled between two of the figures. This scene is depicted in a simple, elegant style typical of the artist's work. The print's small size and delicate details make it a beautiful example of Japanese woodblock printing from this period.
