Naked Woman Sleeping by the Water

Naked Woman Sleeping by the Water (French: Femme nue dormant au bord de l'eau) is an oil on canvas painting by the Swiss and French artist Félix Vallotton, from 1926.

[1][2] The woman's body, with its greenish shadows and uncomfortable posture, is deliberately depicted in an anti-naturalistic manner.

The three rowing men on the right edge of the painting are supposed to be the products of the woman's dream.

In any case, their movement and activity contrast with the sleeper's indolence and inertia.
