"A Woman Asleep," also known as "A Girl Asleep," "A Woman Asleep at Table," and "A Maid Asleep," is a painting by the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer, 1657.
A young woman asleep at a table in a Dutch home with an oriental carpet as a table cloth. According to  Walter Liedtke, the presence of a dog in the painting would have alluded to the kind of impromptu relationships that canine preachers hit in the street. The man and the dog were replaced by a mirror on a far wall, suggesting how the sense experience passes quickly, and a chair left at an angle with a pillow, meaning perhaps indolence, with a suspicion of recent company. The idea that she was recently with someone is reinforced by the wine jug, the glass on the side and the possible presence of a knife and a fork on the table. The Chinese bowl with fruit is a symbol of temptation, and for a contemporary of Vermeer familiar with the symbolism of the Dutch art of the time, the knife and the jug lying under a vaporous material would remind more than social relations.1657/Holland Posters are printed on heavy-stock, semi-matte paper Prints on canvas are gallery-wrapped, and will arrive unframed and ready-to-hang.
