About the piece
Painted in 1897, Henri Rousseau's 'The Sleeping Gypsy' is a masterpiece of Naive art, capturing a surreal moment of stillness in a moonlit desert. The bold, flat colors and clean lines depict a sleeping woman, her mandolin, and a watchful lion, creating a poetic and enigmatic atmosphere that remains one of the most recognizable images in modern art.
