Study of a Sleeping Woman — De Chavannes Tapestry Blanket

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.
