Going to Bed (Le coucher)

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image contains two individuals depicted from the waist up. One person on the left is reclining against a pillow, while the other on the right is propped up on one elbow, potentially engaging with them. The facial features are rendered with sketch-like lines, capturing relaxed expressions. Hair details are present but not fully defined. Both individuals are wrapped in fabric with loose lines indicating movement. The background features cross-hatched and shaded areas, emphasizing the figures. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
