"Sleeping Woman" (German: "Schlafende Frau") is an 1849 oil painting by the Austrian artist Johann Baptist Reiter, a prominent figure in the Biedermeier period. The painting is notable for its intimate portrayal of a woman in repose, reflecting the Biedermeier era's focus on domestic life and personal subject matter. Reiter's work is characterized by its detailed realism and the warm, subdued palette that was typical of the time.

In "Sleeping Woman," Reiter captures the tranquility of the subject with a softness and attention to detail that suggests a moment of peaceful solitude. The composition of the painting, with the woman lying in a relaxed position, possibly on a chaise longue or bed, and the use of light and shadow, highlights the artist's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the human form.

Johann Baptist Reiter (1813–1890) was a significant portraitist and genre painter of the 19th century, and his works often depicted the bourgeoisie and aristocracy of his time. "Sleeping Woman" is a fine example of his genre work, where he moved away from formal portraiture to capture more candid moments in everyday life.

This painting is part of Reiter's oeuvre that contributes to our understanding of the Biedermeier period's artistic trends, which emphasized simplicity, modesty, and the beauty of ordinary life amidst a turbulent historical context marked by the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars and the lead-up to the revolutions of 1848.

While the current location of "Sleeping Woman" is not specified, Reiter's works are held in various collections, including the Belvedere Museum in Vienna and the Oberösterreichisches Landesmuseum in Linz. The painting remains an important piece for the study of Austrian art history and the Biedermeier period, offering insights into the societal norms and cultural aesthetics of the mid-19th century.
