"Reading of the Tragedy 'L'Orphelin de la Chine' in the Salon of Madame Geoffrin" or "An Evening at Madame Geoffrin's" is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Anicet-Charles-Gabriel Lemonnier, created in 1812. The artwork captures a significant cultural moment in 18th-century France, depicting a literary salon hosted by the influential patroness Marie-Thérèse Rodet Geoffrin, known for her support of the philosophes of the Enlightenment.

The painting portrays a scene where members of the French Enlightenment are gathered in Madame Geoffrin's salon to listen to a reading of Voltaire's tragedy "L'Orphelin de la Chine" (The Orphan of China), which was inspired by a Chinese play and reflects the period's interest in exotic and philosophical themes. Lemonnier's work is notable for its detailed representation of the salon's attendees, offering a glimpse into the intellectual and social dynamics of the time.

Madame Geoffrin's salons were famous for bringing together writers, artists, philosophers, and influential figures, serving as a hub for the exchange of ideas and the promotion of Enlightenment values. Lemonnier's painting not only captures the essence of these gatherings but also serves as a historical document, immortalizing the faces and atmosphere of an era that greatly valued intellectual discourse and cultural patronage.

The painting is celebrated for its historical accuracy, attention to detail, and the artist's skill in rendering the textures and materials of the salon's luxurious interior. It is an important work for understanding the role of salons in French society and the broader cultural landscape of the Enlightenment. "An Evening at Madame Geoffrin's" is a testament to the power of art as a medium for documenting and preserving the social and intellectual spirit of a bygone era.
