Sleep

1931–1932

A lithograph by Reginald Gray depicting a sketch of a sleeping figure curled up in a fetal position, surrounded by dark, expressive shading that conveys a sense of depth and emotion. The artwork has a caption at the bottom that appears to be a signature and possibly a title or a quote. The paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
