"La Sieste" is a notable painting by the Chilean artist Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, created in 1882. This work is an exemplar of Puelma's mastery in academic painting and reflects the influence of European artistic styles, which he assimilated during his studies in France. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of a young woman reclining in a state of repose, embodying the concept of 'siesta'—a short nap or rest taken in the early afternoon, especially in hot climates.

Valenzuela Puelma, born in Valparaíso in 1856, is considered one of the most important Chilean painters of the 19th century, and "La Sieste" is among his most recognized works. The artist's proficiency in capturing the play of light and shadow, as well as his delicate treatment of the human figure, are evident in this piece. The painting's composition, with its attention to detail and use of color, showcases Puelma's academic training and his ability to convey a sense of serenity and languid beauty.

"La Sieste" holds cultural significance as it reflects the lifestyle and customs of the period, as well as the European influence on South American art of the time. The work is also a testament to the cross-cultural artistic exchanges that were prevalent in the late 19th century. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and historical context within both Chilean and Latin American art history.
