In the reading room 

"In the Reading Room" is a painting by French artist Delphin Enjolras, known for his elegant depictions of Parisian life. The scene portrays three women in a richly appointed interior, illuminated by the warm glow of lamps. One woman is seated in a plush armchair, engrossed in a book, while another stands nearby, seemingly engaged in conversation. The third woman, in a striking red gown, observes the scene with a thoughtful expression. The painting captures the intimate atmosphere of a private reading room, highlighting the refined tastes and leisurely lifestyle of the upper class in early 20th-century Paris.
