EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century painting, titled "The Sleeping Reader," is a masterpiece by the renowned French artist, Jean Francois Gille Colson, also known as Colson Jean Francois. The artwork, created during the Neoclassical period, depicts a young woman in a full-length portrait as she peacefully dozes off while seated at a dressing table. The serene setting is adorned with elegant Neoclassical furniture, including a dressing table, chair, and a guitar leaning against the wall. The woman's attire is an exquisite example of the fashionable clothing of the time, with a richly colored dress and an intricately patterned shawl draped over her shoulders. A small dog lies at her feet, adding a touch of warmth and companionship to the scene. The painting's muted color palette and meticulous attention to detail exemplify the Neoclassical concept of harmony and balance. This artwork is a testament to the artistic heritage of France and is now part of the esteemed collection at Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris. The tranquil image of the sleeping reader invites viewers to pause and reflect on the simple pleasures of life, making it a beloved piece in the annals of French art history.
