Despite their similar poses in the painting, the character in the foreground is bathed in light, while his brother is shrouded in darkness; the first therefore represents Sleep, the latter Death.[4] The personification of Sleep clasps poppies, symbolic of narcosis and dreamlike-states.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/pictures/sleep-half-brother-death-1874/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090909160319/http://www.johnwilliamwaterhouse.com/pictures/sleep-half-brother-death-1874|dead-url=yes|archive-date=9 September 2009|title=Sleep and his Half-brother Death|publisher=johnwilliamwaterhouse.com|accessdate=31 January 2013}} {{John William Waterhouse}}{{19C-painting-stub}}2. ^Noakes, Aubrey. 2004.
