Sleepy Gypsy

         Henri Rousseau was a symbolist painter and painted Sleeping Gypsy in 1897 through an oil on canvas medium and can be found on the Museum Of Modern Art, New York. It is interesting to me how this picture has its characters looking like dolls and very unreal. Apart from the use of colors, i think this is something that an amateur would draw because of the way the characters are drawn, but I believe it is more about the symbols in this picture and not how it is drawn.
