Bimbo che dorme (Sleeping Boy)

Giuseppe Grandi

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a person in a sleeping position, with only the upper half of their body visible. The person's head is tilted to the side, resting on a pillow or cushion, and their hands are tucked under their chin. The sketch features delicate facial features with closed eyes, short tousled hair, and light clothing. The background is minimalistic with soft shading, and the sketch is centered on a light-colored sheet with the artist's name, G. Grandi, inscribed below.
