"Dolce Far Niente" translates as "It's sweet doing nothing." It is an Italian phrase and is the title of this wonderful painting by John William Waterhouse. Like other works by the artist, this painting is rendered in the Academic style and tone. It features a woman leisurely lying on a sofa, holding a finely detailed fan. As the title suggests, she's doing nothing, just enjoying the day, relaxing and taking her time. The use of light tones and the delicate curves and folds of her dress, the cloth and the sofa compliment the natural beauty of the subject. Sweet, delicate and simply beautiful.
