Queen Victoria originally bought the painting in 1841 for her dressing room and wrote in her journal "To-day I got from Paris a beautiful picture by Winterhalter which I had ordered. It is quite small, representing a "Siesta", three lovely Italian girls, with one of them asleep.". Stunning Photo Gifts From English Heritage Images
