"Lady Sleeping" is a painting by Franciszek Zmurko, a renowned Polish artist known for his academic style and sensual portraits of women. Born in 1859, Zmurko developed a reputation for his masterful technique and ability to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which is evident in "Lady Sleeping." This particular work is emblematic of Zmurko's oeuvre, which often depicted women in moments of repose or introspection, showcasing his fascination with female beauty and emotion.

The painting features a young woman, likely a model from the artist's circle, in a state of peaceful slumber. The composition focuses on the tranquility of the subject, with soft lighting that highlights the contours of her face and the drapery of the linens that envelop her. Zmurko's skill in rendering textures and his subtle use of color contribute to the overall serenity and intimacy of the piece.

"Lady Sleeping" is characteristic of the late 19th-century artistic trends in Poland, where artists were influenced by the academic art movements of Western Europe while also seeking to express their own national identity through art. Zmurko, having studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and later in Munich, brought back to Poland the techniques and sensibilities of the academies, which he adapted in his portrayal of Polish subjects.

While the exact date of creation for "Lady Sleeping" is not well-documented, it is likely from the latter part of Zmurko's career, which spanned from the late 1870s until his death in 1910. The painting is a testament to Zmurko's legacy as one of Poland's preeminent portraitists of the late 19th century and reflects the broader European fascination with the theme of the reclining female figure, a motif explored by numerous artists of the period.

"Lady Sleeping" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Zmurko's contribution to Polish art history. The work is often studied within the context of Polish academic painting and the broader European art movements of the time, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu in which Zmurko operated.
