The Sleeping Gypsy ☷ Rousseau ☶ Canvas
The Sleeping Gypsy (1897) by Henri Rousseau depicts a woman sleeping in the desert, with mountains in the background, under a dark sky with a few stars and a full moon. She is wearing a colorful long robe, holding a staff, next to her is a mandolin and a tall jar. A lion has approached and sniffs her. Rousseau described the subject as "A wandering Negress, a mandolin player, lies with her jar beside her (a vase with drinking water), overcome by fatigue in a deep sleep. A lion chances to pass by, picks up her scent yet does not devour her. There is a moonlight effect, very poetic."

Stretched canvas prints, also know as wrapped canvas, are created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern reproduction ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
