The Story in the Margin
Pierre Puvis de Chavannes was among the most influential French painters of the late nineteenth century, celebrated for large-scale mural decorations rendered in a muted, matte, fresco-like palette that inspired Symbolist and modern painters from Georges Seurat to Pablo Picasso. "Study of a Sleeping Woman" reflects his working method, in which detailed figure studies preceded the simplified, idealized forms of his finished murals. Puvis's calm, contemplative figures, often set in timeless, pastoral landscapes, sought a classical serenity distinct from the bright immediacy of Impressionism.

This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. The clarity of Study of makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday.
The condition it arrived in tells me somebody packs these by hand. There is more going on in Study of than I noticed on the website.
It went exactly where I planned and needed no adjusting at all. The reproduction of Study of is faithful enough that I would buy another. My only wish is that they offered a larger size. I would happily buy here again.
The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. The smallest marks in Study of are still visible, which is the entire point. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. The shading in Study of has a depth I never noticed in books…
