Sleep. It's not very elegant is it? Particularly in this image, by Peter HartBut I love those lines, and though this is unflinchingly honest, it has compassion. We are all this vulnerable whilst we sleep - it's why sleeping with another is such an intimate thing to do.

Esta.sketch also has some sleepers on her Flickr stream:
Sleepers, esta.sketch
And here:
Sleepers on a train, esta.sketch
The lines in these two artists work are so very different - Peter's style is quite graphic, whereas esta.sketch's lines are fluid, and multiple, as if she is looking for the form. I enjoy both styles very much and each captures something of essence of sleep and that trusting vulnerability which makes us want to protect the sleeper.

These sketches are sodifferent between them as they are beautifull. And I don't believe Einstein would have an intelligent look while sleeping...
