Maggi Hambling — Lett Asleep
Maggi Hambling

Lett Asleep

A dynamic oil painting by Maggi Hambling depicting a figure lost in slumber, rendered with her characteristically bold and expressive brushwork. Hambling captures the vulnerability and stillness of sleep through swirling, energetic strokes that contrast the quiet subject matter with a sense of raw, visceral movement. The rich, layered application of oil paint creates a deeply atmospheric work that blurs the boundary between repose and restless inner life.
