La Lecture 

"La Lecture" is a painting by Emilio Grau Sala, a Spanish artist who was born in 1911 and passed away in 1975. The painting features a woman, possibly a young woman, reclining on a chair, her face partially hidden behind a book as she reads. The background is a vibrant red, which contrasts with the cool blues and greens of the book and the woman's white blouse with colorful embroidered details. The artist's brushstrokes are visible and contribute to the painting's expressive and dynamic nature. The painting's subject, a solitary woman engrossed in reading, speaks to the power of literature and introspection.
