Model study of a sleeping girl c. 1890

Wilhelm Altheim's "Model study of a sleeping girl" from c. 1890 depicts a nude female figure in a relaxed pose. The model's head rests on her arm, her body draped in a white sheet with a hint of a green fabric visible in the corner. The painting showcases Altheim's skill in capturing the subtle details of human anatomy and the naturalism of the subject's sleeping state. This academic study, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the figure, highlighting his interest in the female form.
