Illustration for "Jestrab Kontra Hrdlicka, XXII" (Girl asleep on a bed)

Karel Vitezslav Masek

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young woman lying on her back on a bed. She is comfortably positioned, with her right arm extended over her head and her left arm resting by her side. Her face is slightly tilted upwards, with closed lips and eyes shut. Her dark hair is styled up, with some loose strands. She wears a light-colored, sleeveless dress with lace detailing. A pillow supports her head, and there is a decorative curtain in the foreground. A vase with flowers is placed near her, and the background is monochromatic, emphasizing her serene posture.
