The painting is an etching and aquatint print, depicting a man sleeping with his head resting on a table. Around him are a series of strange and frightening creatures, such as bats, cats, snakes, and owls. The title of the painting, “The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters,” refers to the idea that when reason is not vigilant, fantasy can take over and generate strange thoughts and creatures.
