Le Sommeil
''Le Sommeil'' (translated in English variously as ''The Sleepers'' and ''Sleep'') is an erotic〔Dorothy M. Kosinski, (Gustave Courbet's ''The Sleepers.'' The Lesbian Image in Nineteenth Century French Art and Literature ), Artibus et Historiae, Vol. 9, No. 18 (1988), p.187〕 oil painting on canvas by French artist Gustave Courbet created in 1866. The painting, which depicts lesbianism, is also known as the ''Two Friends'' (''Les Deux Amies'') and ''Indolence and Lust'' (''Paresse et Luxure'').
==History==
''Le Sommeil'' was originally commissioned by the Turkish diplomat and art collector of the late Ottoman era, Halil Şerif Paşa, who had lived in Paris since 1860.〔(Le Sommeil ), Petit Palais〕 The painting was not permitted to be shown publicly until 1988, like a number of his other works such as ''L'Origine du monde''. When ''Le Sommeil'' was exhibited by a picture dealer in 1872, it became the subject of a police report. One of the models for the painting was Joanna Hiffernan, who was the mistress of fellow painter James Abbott Whistler at the time. Whistler's relationship with Hiffernan ended soon afterwards, and his opinion of Courbet soured.〔
The ''Encyclopedia of Lesbian and Gay Histories and Cultures'' describes ''Le Sommeil'' as a "famous" painting. The painting created an impact in 19th-century art, because after the public display of ''Le Sommeil'', a number of contemporary artists were influenced by the theme of lesbian couples. Repetition of this theme helped to lower the taboos associated with lesbian relationships.〔
Today ''Le Sommeil'' is in the collection of the Petit Palais, a Paris museum.〔
