Description: | Signed: yes Description: The girl in Girl asleep on the sofa, or Fatiguée, the French title given by the art-dealer Goupil & Cie., is one of Jacob Maris's daughters. She is sleeping on a couch, wearing a pale greenish-white dress which stands out against the dark reddish-brown background. The texture of the canvas shines through the fine, but free, brushwork and plays a part in the texture of the finished painting. The dark surroundings are of the same reddish brown as the Girl with the Peacock Feather (around 1879, Glasgow Museums, The Burrell Collection), for which a daughter of Maris also posed. Although Jacob Maris sold this work to the art-dealer Goupil & Cie., on 27 May 1880, it is generally dated to the mid 1870s. | Subjects: | interior; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maris, Jacob Henricus (Dutch landscape painter, 1837-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8823... | Go to resource |
