"Portrait of Sofie Gerhardt, Reading Newspaper" (German: "Porträt Sofie Gerhardt, Zeitung Lesend" or "Lesende Frau") is a notable work by the German Expressionist painter August Macke. Created in 1909, this painting is a testament to Macke's early exploration of color and form, which would later become hallmarks of his mature style. The painting depicts Sofie Gerhardt, a close acquaintance of the artist, engrossed in reading a newspaper, a subject that reflects the artist's interest in capturing the quiet moments of everyday life.

The artwork is characterized by its vibrant palette and the use of bold, flat areas of color, which are indicative of the influence of Fauvism and the burgeoning Expressionist movement on Macke's work. The composition is balanced, with the figure of Gerhardt positioned off-center, allowing the interplay of colors and shapes to guide the viewer's eye through the canvas. The painting's focus on a solitary figure, a common theme in Macke's oeuvre, underscores the artist's fascination with introspection and the inner world of his subjects.

"Portrait of Sofie Gerhardt, Reading Newspaper" is considered an important piece within Macke's body of work, as it showcases his transition from a more naturalistic approach to a style that emphasizes emotional expression through color and form. The painting is also significant for its portrayal of a modern woman engaged in an intellectual pursuit, reflecting the changing social dynamics of the early 20th century.

August Macke's untimely death in World War I cut short a promising career, but his contributions to German Expressionism and early modern art remain influential. "Portrait of Sofie Gerhardt, Reading Newspaper" is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as a reflection of the cultural and artistic currents of its time.
