"Sleeping Shepherd Boy" is an oil painting created by the Russian artist Aleksei Gavrilovich Venetsianov between 1823 and 1826. Venetsianov is renowned for his pastoral scenes and realistic depictions of peasant life in early 19th-century Russia, and this work is a quintessential example of his genre painting. The painting portrays a young shepherd boy, at rest, likely exhausted from his duties tending to his flock. The boy is depicted in a natural, serene setting, which reflects Venetsianov's focus on the harmonious relationship between humans and nature.

The artwork is significant for its role in the development of Russian genre art and for its departure from the more formal and classical subjects that dominated Russian painting at the time. Venetsianov's empathetic portrayal of common folk and his attention to the subtleties of rural life marked a shift towards realism and had a profound influence on the course of Russian art. "Sleeping Shepherd Boy" is admired for its gentle realism, delicate use of light, and its peaceful, bucolic atmosphere.

As a leading figure in Russian art, Venetsianov was granted the title of Academician by the Imperial Academy of Arts for his contributions to the portrayal of peasant life. "Sleeping Shepherd Boy" remains one of his most celebrated works and is often highlighted for its technical skill and its tender, humanistic qualities. The painting is a testament to Venetsianov's legacy as an artist who captured the essence of rural existence and the dignity of the common man during a period of great social change in Russia.
