Reading girl 

"Reading Girl" is a black and white drawing by German artist Engelbert Gminska. It depicts a young woman reclining on a bed, lost in a book. Gminska’s loose lines and expressive strokes capture the casual intimacy of the moment, while the subject's relaxed posture conveys a sense of peacefulness and tranquility. The work highlights the artist’s interest in capturing everyday moments and showcasing the beauty of simple gestures. Currently housed in the Städel Museum, the drawing stands as a testament to Gminska’s skill in capturing the essence of human experience through subtle lines and delicate shading.
