is a captivating print that transports viewers to the artistic world of late 19th-century England. Created by Theodore Roussel, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery in drypoint etching on ivory laid paper. In this mesmerizing portrait, we see a reclining female model in a state of deep slumber. Her eyes are peacefully shut, and her hand rests gently upon her head, adding an air of tranquility to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance of her posture and expression. Roussel's work reflects the luxuriousness and elegance associated with the art movement of his time. The model exudes an aura of timeless beauty while lying down in a pose that epitomizes relaxation and comfort. The print invites us into a moment frozen in time - a private glimpse into the dreamlike world of sleep. It evokes feelings of serenity and contemplation as we imagine what thoughts may be passing through the sleeper's mind. As we admire "The Sleeping Model or The Sleeper" we become immersed in its ethereal atmosphere, appreciating both Roussel's technical skill and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion. This artwork serves as a testament to Roussel's artistic prowess during this period in history when art was flourishing across Europe. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago, this print stands as an enduring symbol of beauty captured on paper for all generations
