The Sleeper, c. 1880, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir shows a young woman in a straw hat dozing outdoors, one arm raised behind her head against a sun-dappled ground of gold and green. Renoir (French, 1841-1919) was a leading Impressionist, and here his soft, velvety brushwork dissolves her white chemise and the surrounding foliage into warm, sun-washed color.
