Whistler Asleep, drypoint by Giovanni Boldini
A loose drypoint showing a reclining head with tousled hair resting on a pillow, rendered in feathery black hatching against a dark, scribbled background. Bare lines suggest a shoulder and arm at lower right, leaving most of the ivory sheet open and blank.
