"Reading" is a painterly contemporary oil painting of modern woman reading a book. A timeless image. A young brown-haired woman tilts her head doen as she focuses on the book in her lap. Her curly bangs fall over her eyes. Her pale skin is adorned by rosy cheeks and pink lips. She wears a striped blue shirt beneath a hooded blue sweater. A cup of tea rests on the table before her, on the lower right. The background is loosely depicted, in strokes of patterned color.
Framed in a simple, modern floating frame.
