Georges Lemmen's "Man Reading" portrays a seated man in a dark interior, reading a book while holding his forehead with his right hand. The subject's posture, combined with the dimly lit setting, suggests contemplation or deep thought, characteristic of realism in the late 19th century. Lemmen, a Belgian artist born in 1865, is known for his poignant depictions of everyday life and the human condition.
