Sleeping Girl With Her Beau, by Pietro Antonio Rotari, circa 1750-55



Another of Rotari's radiant and deliciously sleepy girls. Caressing light, beautifully orchestrated color, erotic languor.

I love the choice of wheat stalk and carnations; they add two more aspects of sensuality to the painting with their very particular touch and smell.
