![Friedrich Von Amerling - Lost in Her Dreams [1835] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sg5Hb1szESCwIGGpAMJP3gIqo4pvJa7LBo1qGv-mX5pj3YTAJAtIezXIPH8URYAruWl9sy4CBUW3Tf4oqwn57pPTrz_YoonnwaPYN3-ruE8_XgLFf7mSJanDRBqBmz0A=s0-d)
Amerling’s genre paintings are seldom of large-scale scenes, and they usually refrain from any sort of moralisation. In this example, too, the mood is set by nothing more than facial expression and gesture, supported by a few props. The veil of black lace frames the girl’s fine features and puts her in just the right light.
