Frans Stracké's "Sleeping Beauty," a marble sculpture from 1867, depicts a woman in a flowing gown, seated and resting her head on her hand, conveying a sense of delicate repose. The sculpture is notable for its realistic rendering of the female form and the intricate detailing of the gown's fabric. Stracké, known for his skill in portraiture and sculpture, captured the quiet vulnerability of the sleeping beauty, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. The sculpture is currently located in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, a testament to Stracké's artistic legacy.

Few Dutch sculptors risked depicting romantic themes in the 19th century. Stracké’s Sleeping Beauty is, therefore, quite exceptional. He captured the fairy-tale princess in her deep, 100-year sleep, after she had pricked her finger on an enchanted spindle. She is rendered so realistically that the statue seems alive, as if she could awaken any moment.
