"Fast Asleep" is an oil painting by Belgian artist Josephus Laurentius Dyckmans (1811–1888), known for his meticulous and highly detailed genre scenes. Created in the 19th century, this work exemplifies Dyckmans' skill in capturing the textures and subtleties of domestic interiors, as well as his ability to convey narrative through the depiction of everyday life.

The painting portrays a young girl, presumably a domestic servant, who has fallen asleep while engaged in her work. The scene is set in a richly appointed interior, with the tools of her labor—a broom and a dustpan—resting idly by her side. The tranquility of the girl's slumber contrasts with the expectation of her active duties, creating a poignant moment that invites contemplation on the nature of work, rest, and the social conditions of the time.

Dyckmans' attention to detail is evident in the realistic rendering of textures, from the softness of the girl's clothing to the intricate patterns of the surrounding furnishings. The use of light and shadow enhances the sense of depth and the quiet atmosphere of the scene. "Fast Asleep" is a fine example of Dyckmans' artistic legacy and his contribution to the genre painting tradition in Belgium during the 19th century.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited in various art exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of genre painting and the broader context of European art history. Dyckmans' work remains an important subject of study for art historians and continues to be appreciated by audiences for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of human experience.
