Description
A small seated figure with dark bobbed hair and a white dress rests against a thick, molten-looking gold border that frames a cave-like opening, one hand curled beneath her head as if asleep. The interior recedes into a wood-grained floor and a deep red wall stenciled with a repeating floral-medallion pattern in gold. *Napping*, by Chihiro Taki (2020), is executed in gesso, oil, and gold leaf on paper mounted to a wooden panel, built up in relief so the gold edging casts real shadow around the painted scene.
