Jules Pascin's 1915 artwork "Siesta" depicts a relaxed and intimate scene of four figures, probably women and children, resting. The figures are sitting or lying in different positions and appear to be interacting with each other. The lines are loosely and sketchily drawn, and the colours are soft and subtle, consisting mainly of blues, reds, yellows and greens. A plant can be seen on the left of the artwork, suggesting a natural or domestic setting. The composition exudes a sense of calm and serenity, befitting the title "Siesta". The artist's signature, "Pascin 1915", can be seen at the bottom right of the artwork.
Julius Mordecai Pinkas (Vidin, Bulgaria, 31 March 1885 - Paris, France, 20 June 1930) was a Bulgarian-American painter and draughtsman of mixed descent: his father was a Sephardic Jew, his mother was of Serbian-Italian origin. Pascin's work, which is sometimes counted as expressionism, includes portraits and mostly erotic-tinged and satirical pictures, characterised by intermingling delicate colour shades.
