Sleep

This is Sleep, a 1923 painting by Walter Ufer (1876–1936), which captures an intimate domestic moment among Pueblo people. A child rests peacefully in the lap of a woman seated on the floor, while another woman, draped in a striped blanket, leans over with ears of blue corn in her arms. Behind them, a vibrant woven textile hangs as a backdrop, emphasizing both cultural richness and everyday life in the Southwest.
