About the piece

Painted around 1640 by Dirck van der Lisse, this oil on panel depicts a hunting nymph in deep slumber. Her luminous skin contrasts with the vibrant red of her robes, while two curious figures peer over the cliffs in the background, adding a sense of narrative intrigue to the otherwise quiet scene.
