Le vigilant (BM 1878,0713.4732)

An allegorical scene of hard work; a nude youth, working through the night by the light of an oil lamp with a board on his lap and pen in hand, pushes away a winged figure of Sleep carrying a bunch of poppies in the upper right corner, while a cock crows dawn on the window ledge. 1816
