Drypoint etching on slightly textured wove paper. (1923). Approx. 19.5 x 38.5 cm (the full sheet c. 39 x 54 cm). Trial proof outside the edition of 60 copies. Signed lower right, titled and inscribed "Siesta (trial proof) Warmly dedicated to Professor Glaser’s wife" lower left.

Beckmann dedicated this sheet to Mrs Glaser, the wife of the well-known art historian and Beckmann collector Curt Glaser (1879-1943). It is possible that this etching served as a model for Beckmann's 1931 oil painting with the same title (cf. WVZ Göpel 353), which shows Max Beckmann and his second wife Mathilde von Kaufmann (known as "Quappi").
