Henri Rousseau painted The Sleeping Gypsy (La Boh mienne endormie in French) in 1897. Today in the New York Museum of Modern Art, it shows a lion brooding over a gypsy woman as she sleeps on a moonlit night.
Rousseau's work in the Na ve or Primitive Post-Impressionist style was mocked as childish or derided by critics up until his death in 1910, but contemporaries such as Picasso, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, and F lix Vallotton were all great admirers of his work and his popularity continues to this day.
