“Study of a Sleeping Girl” is an artwork created by Zinaida Serebriakova in 1923, representing the Expressionism art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 70 by 98 centimeters. Classified as a nude painting, this work of art captures the serene repose of a young female figure.
The artwork depicts a nude girl lying on her back with a calm, relaxed expression, suggestive of a deep and peaceful slumber. Her arms are gently positioned, one above her head and the other resting at her side. She is partially draped with a white cloth, which contrasts with the vivid red underlay, highlighting her delicate, youthful form. The subtle chiaroscuro used by Serebriakova emphasizes the gentle curves and natural beauty of the sleeping girl, embodying the emotion and introspection characteristic of Expressionism.
