What is printed on the back of each The Sleeping Gypsy piece?

The Sleeping Gypsy

Henri Rousseau (1897)

Celebrated as a spellbinding triumph of Post-Impressionist Naïve art and a direct precursor to twentieth-century Surrealism, this nocturnal vision conjures a realm of pure poetic mystery. Bathed in uncanny lunar clarity, the composition balances crisp geometric color planes and a tilted perspective that suspends the sleeping musician and curious lion outside ordinary time. Rejecting academic modeling, the self-taught artist applied smooth, unblended oil glazes and rhythmic striped contours to create an enigmatic dreamscape that captivated modern vanguard painters.

Heavyweight natural cotton canvas printed with The Sleeping Gypsy on one side and its museum wall plaque on the other. Built with reinforced straps for books, daily errands, or a trip to the gallery.

Why We Print on Both Sides

When you visit The Museum of Modern Art in New York, half the magic of standing in front of The Sleeping Gypsy (1897) is leaning in to read the wall label next to the frame. We wanted our pieces to capture that same experience. One side shows Henri Rousseau’s work in crisp detail, and the other side carries its museum wall plaque so the history behind the canvas is never lost.
