Noteworthy Information about the work As I walked through the museum examining the paintings and sculptures from one of the world’s most famous artists, This particular painting of a sleeping Gypsy caught my attention in the museum. This stunning piece of artwork is a fantastic and deeply mysterious work which gave me the feeling of love at first sight. It has a mixture of combined strange imagination with a way of seeing and it depicts as magical. According to the American Artist and Writer, Mordicai Gerstein, â€Å"This is an analytical art which is achieved by the artist through the structure color and nature of the painting.Henri Rousseaus painting The Sleeping Gypsy has a mysterious charm all its own†. It is a disciplined and also a complex art at the same time due to the multitude of textures and colors. The brushstroke creates a smooth and texture look as you zoom in to the top part where the moon is painted. The Gypsy’s brightly colored striped robe e nhances the beauty of the scene due to the rich colors, rhyming shapes and forms. This art can be best
