Rousseau's
Sleeping Gypsy is simply otherworldly. The simplicity and inattention to detail makes the Impressionist painting doubly exotic and quixotic.

The other favorite of mine from the chapter is also by Rousseau.
The Dream has the same appeal of
Sleeping Gypsy although, seemingly, with more detailing. The imagined exotic paradise, however, seems as though it could be an illustration of a real location.
