THE SLEEP, IMPORTANTE MINIATURE CIRCA 1840
Important miniature circa 1840, showing a sleepy young woman. The painting technique and the frame are French, but the work is doubtless the resumption of a more large painting not identified for the moment. This composition, doubtless, inspired Fritz Zuber-Buhler (1822-1896) in his two entitled paintings "Reclining beauty" or the Gipsy"TECHNIQUE:
