Meisje slapend naast een vensterbank c. 1900 - 1940

"Meisje slapend naast een vensterbank," by C. Goes, is a charming black and white illustration depicting a young girl sleeping peacefully in bed. The girl is drawn with simple, yet expressive lines, and her eyes are closed, suggesting a deep slumber. The image is framed by a window, behind which potted plants bloom, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The patterned curtains and the quilted blanket on the bed are rendered with meticulous detail, demonstrating the artist's skill and creating a sense of cozy domesticity. The inscription "1/3 I'm breathe" adds an intriguing dimension to the composition, perhaps referencing the rhythmic nature of sleep or the cycle of life. This artwork, created sometime between 1900 and 1940, showcases the delicate and expressive style of C. Goes and captures a universal moment of childhood tranquility.
