Le reveil

Pierre Charles Levesque after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman lying on her stomach on a bed made of soft cushions and draped in fabric. She is propped up on her elbows, with her chin resting on her hands, looking outside the frame. She has a slight smile and her hair is styled in an updo. There is a small table next to her with a decorative urn or teapot and a ribbon on top. The background features a textured wall with panels and drapery.
