From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

This intimate portrait presents the artist’s wife, Charlotte, in a private moment, eyes closed and head propped on a pillow. Besnard must have admired his wife’s profile. He depicted her from this angle, in both paintings and prints, no less than six time. Sargent showed her in profile too. France, Europe
