"Peasant Woman Sleeping" (French: "Femme paysanne endormie") is an 1853 painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet. As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Courbet was known for his commitment to painting scenes of everyday life and the working class without idealization. This work is a testament to his dedication to portraying the rural peasantry with dignity and authenticity.

The painting depicts a peasant woman taking a moment of rest, possibly from her laborious daily activities. Courbet's attention to detail and his use of color and light reflect the woman's physical state and the environment in which she rests. The artwork is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the subject, eschewing the romanticized and classical representations of peasants that were common in the art of earlier periods.

Courbet's "Peasant Woman Sleeping" is significant for its social and artistic context. It emerged during a period when the French countryside was undergoing significant changes due to industrialization and urbanization. Courbet's choice to focus on the rural working class was a form of social commentary, highlighting the lives of those often overlooked by society and the art world.

The painting is part of Courbet's larger body of work that challenged the established art conventions of his time. By choosing subjects that were considered mundane or unrefined, Courbet confronted the academic norms and the tastes of the Parisian art elite. His work paved the way for future generations of artists to explore themes of realism and to depict the truth of their contemporary world.

"Peasant Woman Sleeping" is held in a public or private collection, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the Realist movement and its insight into 19th-century French rural life. The painting is not only a reflection of Courbet's artistic philosophy but also an important historical document that offers a window into the experiences of the peasant class during a transformative period in French history.
