Camille Corot's "Girl Reading" (1850) depicts a young woman in a red bodice seated at a table, engrossed in reading. The soft light and muted palette create a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation. Corot, known for his landscapes, here focuses on the figure, capturing the simple beauty of everyday life. The painting showcases Corot's mastery of realism, a hallmark of his work. The painting is currently located at the E.G. Bührle Foundation in Zürich, Switzerland.
