Original Description
Wilfred Gabriel De Glehn's Sleeping Nymphs is a mesmerizing example of early 20th-century Impressionist painting, blending dreamlike tranquility with refined technical mastery. The work depicts reclining female figures in a sun-dappled landscape, their poses exuding serene grace while the soft, diffused light creates an almost ethereal atmosphere. Painted between 1900-1910, it reflects De Glehn's Anglo-American roots and his exposure to French Impressionism, particularly the influence of his mentor John Singer Sargent. The loose brushwork and luminous color palette place it within the Post-Impressionist tradition, though with a distinctive decorative elegance that nods to Symbolism. While not as revolutionary as his contemporaries, De Glehn's work occupies an important niche in transatlantic art history, bridging European techniques with English aesthetic sensibilities. Sleeping Nymphs exemplifies his talent for capturing fleeting moments of beauty, making it a prized piece in collections like the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana.
For interior spaces, Sleeping Nymphs would elevate a bedroom or study with its soothing palette of greens, creams, and blush tones. Its ideal setting would be a room with natural light to amplify the painting's luminous quality, perhaps above a console table or as a focal point beside upholstered seating. Choose a frame with warm gilt or walnut tones to complement its vintage charm, and pair it with textural elements like linen drapes or a muted Oriental rug. At approximately 24x36 inches (typical of De Glehn's medium-sized works), it suits both intimate spaces and larger walls when grouped with smaller landscape sketches. In offices, it introduces sophistication without overpowering; style it alongside teak furniture and brass accents for a timeless aesthetic. The nymph theme also harmonizes with botanical prints or Art Nouveau decor, creating a cohesive narrative of natural elegance.
