"Das Lesende Mädchen - Der Lesende Greis" (The Reading Girl - The Reading Old Man) is a pair of paintings by Swiss neoclassical artist Angelica Kauffmann, created in the late 18th century. Kauffmann, renowned for her portraiture and historical subjects, was a prominent figure in the European art scene and one of the few female members of the Royal Academy in London. These works exemplify her delicate and refined style, as well as her interest in depicting intimate, domestic scenes that often carried moral or intellectual messages.

In "Das Lesende Mädchen," Kauffmann portrays a young woman engrossed in a book, a subject that reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on education and the intellectual development of women. The painting captures the quiet moment of reading, suggesting a sense of virtue and contemplation. The companion piece, "Der Lesende Greis," depicts an elderly man similarly absorbed in his reading. This painting complements the first by showcasing the lifelong pursuit of knowledge and the wisdom that comes with age.

Both works are characterized by Kauffmann's soft color palette, attention to detail, and the serene atmosphere she creates through her skilled use of light and composition. The paintings are notable for their representation of the act of reading as a noble and enriching activity, a theme that resonated with the values of the Enlightenment and continues to hold cultural significance.

"Das Lesende Mädchen - Der Lesende Greis" not only highlights Kauffmann's talent as a painter but also serves as a testament to her ability to convey complex ideas through the simplicity of everyday life. These paintings remain an important part of Kauffmann's oeuvre and contribute to our understanding of the role of women artists in the 18th century.
