About the piece
Created in 1892 by Rodolfo Amoedo, this evocative oil painting depicts the Shakespearean character Desdemona in a moment of deep, quiet sleep. The work is defined by its striking chiaroscuro effect, contrasting the bright white of the bedding and gown against the deep, brooding shadows of the bedchamber.
