About this work
Sickert often created a number of variants of the same composition, greatly changing the lighting, painting technique and even the colour. This is one of five similar works he painted during his last visit to Venice, which shows his favourite model, Giuseppina resting on a bed.

Frame
This frame is in the form of Louis XIV revival frames made up from composition decorative work on a wooden base.
These frames have been used extensively as the default frame for many paintings, particularly the paintings of the French Impressionists.
A number of frames in this form were made by the John Thallon company for the NGV, notably to replace the original frames on nineteenth century Australian paintings.
The frame has counterparts in those found on: Jean-Francois MILLET Susanna and the Elders, Gwen JOHN Interior with figures, John CROME Woodland path.
