"Sleeping Nymph" (1850) is a captivating oil painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Chassériau (1819–1856), known for his mastery in portraying the human figure and his ability to infuse classical themes with a modern sensibility. This artwork stands as a testament to Chassériau's artistic prowess and his fascination with themes of beauty, mythology, and sensuality. Measuring 38.5 by 51 cm, the painting is part of a series of works that explore similar motifs of nymphs and mythological subjects, showcasing the artist's interest in classical antiquity and his skill in rendering the human form in a delicate and evocative manner.

"Sleeping Nymph" depicts a serene and idyllic scene of a young nymph, a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden, reclining in a peaceful slumber in a lush, wooded landscape. The nymph's pose, with her body gently curved in repose, and the soft, diffused light that bathes the scene, contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Chassériau's use of color, light, and composition in this painting highlights his ability to blend the idealized beauty of the classical tradition with a more intimate and personal expression, characteristic of the Romantic movement.

The painting reflects Chassériau's influences, including his early mentor Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, as well as his departure from Ingres' neoclassical strictures towards a more sensuous and expressive style. "Sleeping Nymph" is celebrated for its exquisite detail, the subtlety of its color palette, and its atmospheric quality, making it a significant work within Chassériau's oeuvre and a valuable piece for understanding the transition between Neoclassicism and Romanticism in mid-19th century French art.

Today, "Sleeping Nymph" is held in a private collection, yet it continues to be admired through exhibitions and reproductions in art history publications. It not only exemplifies Chassériau's unique position in French art history but also offers insight into the broader cultural and artistic preoccupations of the period, including the revival of interest in classical mythology and the exploration of themes related to nature, beauty, and the human experience.
