Have not purchased the painting it will be in a auction next Sunday. Just curious if anyone knew what is was.

Have you asked the auctioneer the questions I posed?
What research have you done?

Do you know the painting?

If I did, I'd tell you versus asking you for what you know about the painting that might help the Forum assist you.

Just doing some tidying up of old unidentified works.

That’s a print (or copied from) an 1864 work titled “Sleep” (Schlaf) by the French artist William Adolphe Bouguereau:
