With a mysterious poetry, the lion visits the gypsy woman and her mandolin in this masterful composition that somehow employs hard lines and flattish perspectives 94 to great advantage. 95 </p> 96 <p> 97 In <i>The Sleeping Gypsy</i>, Rousseau portrays an African gypsy in a desert wearing an Oriental costume. She lies beside an Italian stringed instrument and jar of water. These items each have significant importance to the 98 cultures in which they belong. The Oriental frock and mandolin are all customary to their respective Asian and Italian cultures. However, Rousseau decides to mix them all together in his own painting. 99 </p> 100 <p> 101 Rousseau was largely a self-taught painter.Although he had ambitions of entering the academy, this was never realized. But the sharp colors, fantastic imagery, and precise outlines in his work derived from the style and subject 102 matter of popular print culturestruck a chord with a younger generation of avant-garde painters. 103 </p> 104 <p> 105 Rousseau described the subject of <i>The Sleeping Gypsy</i> thus: 106 </p> 107 108 <p class="blockquote"> 109 A wandering Negress, a mandolin player, lies with her jar beside her (a vase with drinking water), overcome by fatigue in a deep sleep. A lion chances to pass by, picks up her scent yet does not devour her. There is a moonlight effect, 110 very poetic. ” 111 </p> 112 113 <p> 114 The fantastical depiction of a lion musing over a sleeping woman on a moonlit night is one of the most recognizable artworks of modern times. 115 </p> 116 117 <figure class="figure"> 118 <img loading="lazy" src="/assets/img/sleeping-gypsy-photo.jpg" class="figure-img img-fluid" alt="The Sleeping Gypsy Photo at MOMA">
