The Dream - Henri Rousseau

Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (French, May 1844 – September 1910) was a French Post-Impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner. He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll collector. Ridiculed during his lifetime, he came to be recognized as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality.

The "Dream" is one of his famous works.
