Soyer said of a similar etching, Sleeping Girl, 1945 (Cole 66; Gettings 52): “This is done from an old drawing. I have done this same thing several times. I like the pose. Rembrandt would use this pose with a woman sleeping and somebody looking at her.” (as quoted in Gettings, “Raphael Soyer: Sixty-five Years of Printmaking,” Washington DC: 1982, p.46)
