That is not the case here. Van Brekelenkam was more concerned with paying homage to diligent housekeepers: this woman has clearly not fallen asleep through drunkeness, laziness or neglect but because she is tired from work. Her kitchen is neat and ordered and she has laid out supper on a neatly pressed linen cloth. Her domestic chores done, she has nodded off while studying the Bible.\n\nOne slightly jarring note is hinted at, however. The relief on the stoneware jug shows Adam and Eve standing before God in the Garden of Eden. It is a reminder that, according to the Bible, it was a woman, Eve, who first disobeyed God and brought shame and sin into the world.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/quiringh-van-brekelenkam-a-woman-asleep-by-a-fire\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Woman Asleep by a Fire\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quiringh Van Brekelenkam","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509949370611,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (17 1\/4\" x 12 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509949403379,"sku":null,"price":489.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 3\/4\" x 15 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509949436147,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (25 3\/8\" x 19\")","offer_id":50509949468915,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (31\" x 23 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509949501683,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (40 1\/8\" x 30\")","offer_id":50509949534451,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (48 1\/8\" x 35 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509949567219,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (56 3\/4\" x 42 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509949599987,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (68\" x 50 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509949632755,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AWomanAsleepbyaFire.jpg?v=1788820430","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-woman-asleep-by-a-fire-ngal1550","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
