EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 18th-century artwork titled "Man Pretends Asleep Thief Enters House Becomes Drowsy" we are transported to a scene filled with suspense and deception. The print, attributed to Egypt or Syria, captures a pivotal moment as the story unfolds from the famous folio of Kalila wa Dimna. The composition showcases an unsuspecting man who cleverly pretends to be asleep while a mischievous thief sneaks into his house. However, what makes this image truly captivating is the unexpected twist that follows - as the thief enters, he too succumbs to drowsiness and eventually falls fast asleep. Rendered in opaque watercolor on paper, this artwork measures an impressive 125 cm high and 887 cm wide. Its large dimensions allow us to immerse ourselves fully in the intricate details of each character's expression and body language. The artist behind this masterpiece skillfully captures both tension and humor through their brushstrokes. We can almost feel our hearts racing alongside the protagonist's as he maintains his facade of slumber while secretly plotting against the intruder. This extraordinary piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection transports us back in time, inviting us to witness a thrilling narrative unfold within its delicate codices. It serves as a testament not only to artistic brilliance but also reminds us of humanity's timeless fascination with tales of cunning wit and poetic justice.
