Photo etching with aquatint on Fabiano Tiepolo paper

William Wegman’s Cinderella Sleeping from 1994 is a limited edition photo etching with aquatint on Fabiano Tiepolo paper, measuring 27 by 23 cm. The artwork presents a Weimaraner dog resting on a bed, wrapped in a blanket with its head resting on a bright red pillow. The monochromatic tones of the dog and the surroundings contrast sharply with the vibrant red, drawing focus to the serene, almost melancholic expression of the dog. Wegman’s characteristic use of Weimaraners in his work often evokes human-like emotions, and here, the sense of rest and tranquility is palpable. The etching technique gives the piece a textured, classic feel, further emphasizing the timeless quality of the scene.

William Wegman (USA, 1943) is a multimedia artist best known for his whimsical photographs of Weimaraner dogs. Blending humor with sophistication, his work spans video, painting, and drawing, often incorporating his dogs into surreal and playful narratives. Wegman’s art has become iconic, bridging fine art and popular culture.

My Weimaraners are perfect fashion models.
- William Wegman

William Wegman (b. 1943, USA) is an American artist best known for his whimsical and innovative photography featuring Weimaraner dogs, particularly his iconic dog, Man Ray. Wegman’s work blends humor, surrealism, and a keen sense of visual storytelling, often dressing his dogs in human clothing or placing them in absurd scenarios that challenge traditional notions of portraiture and animal imagery. Although initially trained as a painter, Wegman gained international fame through his playful, yet sophisticated photographs and videos of his Weimaraners, which have become a significant part of contemporary art. His work is celebrated for its creativity and ability to blur the lines between fine art, commercial photography, and popular culture. Wegman’s photographs have been exhibited in major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, making him a beloved and influential figure in the art world.
