The artwork, titled “Girl Asleep,” was created by Giorgio de Chirico in 1947. Executed in oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Neo-baroque art movement and falls under the genre of nude painting (nu).
The artwork depicts a young woman in a state of slumber, her body partially draped with fabric. The artist’s use of warm, rich hues enhances the dreamy ambiance of the scene. The soft, flowing lines and delicate brushwork highlight the tranquility and innocence of the sleeping figure, while the detailed rendering of her hair and body contributes to the overall sense of serenity and repose. The background, with its subtle interplay of light and shadow, further enhances the intimate and peaceful atmosphere of the composition.
