Reading. Henri Fantin-Latour (French, 1836-1904). Oil on canvas. Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tournai.Fantin-Latour emphasises the meditative aspect of the scene, as when he painted young women sewing or weaving. The motionless model, the still life formed by the book, hand, and ring, the subdued colours scarcely warmed by the back of the chair, all contribute to the air of tranquility and silence. -- source link
