Sleeping Student
1663 · Nationalmuseum, Stockholm
genreThis panel is a genre piece and shows a young student asleep at his desk, one hand tucked into his jacket. In front of him are his gloves, a notebook, a pen and inkhorn, and six books, five of them piled up in a towerlike arrangement, which becomes the focus of the composition. Probably the painting conveys a moral message.
