The Sommeil, or Le Sleepers

Yes, the name is a joke.
'The Sommeil' or 'Le Sleepers'
This is a render of Ayalessa and her wife* Velispyr, asleep and smiling after a bit of nuptial naughties, based on the extremely avid painting Le Sommeil by the French Realist painter Gustave Coulbert, finished in 1866.  It was a painting he did for Khalil Bey and is considered one of the finest examples of lesbianism in art to date.  It was not permitted to be shown publicly until 1988 because, well, it's of two obviously post-coital women.  Khalil Bey had a taste for them, apparently.
