Girl Reading c. 1890

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Girl Reading" from circa 1890 captures a young woman lost in a book. The Impressionist painter's signature loose brushstrokes and soft color palette render the scene with warmth and intimacy. The girl, in a vibrant red dress, leans back in a chair, her focused expression and graceful posture conveying a quiet moment of enjoyment. This artwork embodies the Impressionist movement's emphasis on capturing fleeting moments of everyday life, often in a naturalistic and intimate style.
