books0977: Woman Reading in a Forest (1875). Gyula Benczúr (Hungarian, 1844-1920). Oil on canvas. Hungarian National Gallery. Painting likely shows Benczúr’s wife Karolina Max. The special appeal of the painting is the colour composition based on the fresh harmony of red and green, and the modern representation of women unconventional in the 19th century. The reading woman lying casually in the grass represents a modern intellectual type of woman. -- source link
