The Sleeping Beauty (1921)

John Collier (English, 1850–1934)

A woman lies in deep slumber, draped in flowing white, her golden hair spilling across the pillows. The air hums with enchantment—time suspended, waiting for that fateful kiss to break the spell. Her stillness holds the weight of a thousand untold stories.
Jeanne Fourmanoir sur le lac (1892)

Berthe Morisot (French, 1841–1895)

A woman reclines in a rowboat, her dress pooling around her as sunlight dances on the lake’s surface. The water holds her reflection loosely, like a thought about to slip away. Oars rest idle—no hurry, no destination. Just the quiet ripple of time passing.
Portrait Of A Lady

Alois Hans Schram (Austrian, 1864–1919)

A poised woman gazes past the frame, her expression unreadable. The soft folds of her dress and the delicate play of light suggest a quiet elegance, yet her eyes hold something distant—perhaps a thought she’ll never share. The portrait lingers between presence and mystery.
The Love Letter (c. 1669 – c. 1670)

Johannes Vermeer (Dutch, 1632–1675)

A woman pauses, letter in hand, sunlight catching the folds of her dress. The room holds its breath—a quiet tension between anticipation and secrecy. Her gaze lingers just beyond the frame, leaving the message’s contents to imagination. The lute rests untouched; music can wait. This moment belongs to the page.
Les bulles de savon

Etienne Adolphe Piot (French, 1850–1910)

A young woman leans forward, lips parted as she blows a soap bubble. The fragile sphere catches the light, hovering between her delicate fingers and the soft curve of her cheek. Her gaze follows its ascent, half-amused, half-lost in thought—a fleeting moment suspended like the bubble itself.
Jeanne (1888)

William Bouguereau (French, 1825–1905)

A young woman gazes downward, her delicate features bathed in soft light. The folds of her white dress cascade gracefully, contrasting with the dark background. There’s a quiet intensity in her lowered eyes—something unspoken lingers in the stillness.
Portræt af Marie Krøyer (1890)

Peder Severin Krøyer (Danish, unknown)

A woman in a white dress stands by the sea, sunlight catching the folds of her skirt. Her gaze drifts beyond the frame, as if lost in thought or waiting for something—or someone—just out of sight. The air feels still, salt-tanged, heavy with unspoken words.
Mariana (1880)

Sir John Lavery (Irish, 1856–1941)

A woman stands by the window, sunlight pooling at her feet. The room hums with quiet warmth, her dress catching the glow. Outside, the world blurs—just shapes and color. She’s not waiting, not leaving. Simply there, a breath held between moments.
Pandora (ca. 1914)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A woman emerges from swirling darkness, her pale form cradling a glowing vessel. Shadows cling to her limbs like smoke, while the box in her hands pulses with eerie light—both gift and curse in one. The air hums with unspoken myth, that moment before revelation cracks the world open.
