'''Reading''' (French: ''La Lecture'') is an 1873 painting by French artist Berthe Morisot, who was associated with the Impressionist movement. The work is a testament to Morisot's interest in depicting intimate domestic scenes and the private lives of women, themes that were recurrent in her oeuvre. In this painting, Morisot portrays a woman absorbed in reading, a subject that reflects the cultural value placed on literacy and leisure in the 19th century, particularly among the middle and upper classes.

The composition is notable for its loose brushwork and the play of light and shadow, characteristics that align it with the Impressionist style. Morisot's use of color and her ability to capture the moment with immediacy and a sense of spontaneity are evident in this work. The identity of the woman in the painting is not definitively known, but she is often thought to be a close friend or family member, as Morisot frequently painted people from her personal circle.

''Reading'' is part of a larger body of work by Morisot that explores the roles and representations of women in the late 19th century. As a female artist in a predominantly male Impressionist circle, Morisot brought a unique perspective to the movement, and her work has been celebrated for its contribution to the understanding of women's experiences during her time.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Morisot's art. ''Reading'' not only exemplifies Morisot's skill as a painter but also serves as a cultural artifact, offering insight into the societal norms and daily life of her era.
