"Trissotin Reading his Sonnet from Les Femmes Savantes" is a notable painting by the British artist Charles Robert Leslie, created in 1845. Leslie, a prominent figure in 19th-century British art, was known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes from literature and everyday life with a touch of humor and keen observation of character.

The painting captures a moment from Molière's 1672 comedy "Les Femmes Savantes" (The Learned Ladies), a satirical play that critiques the pretensions and affectations of the intellectual elite in 17th-century France. The character Trissotin, a pedantic and self-important poet, is depicted reading one of his sonnets to a group of admiring women. Leslie's interpretation of this scene is both humorous and insightful, highlighting the absurdity of Trissotin's inflated self-regard and the sycophantic adulation of his audience.

Leslie's attention to detail is evident in the careful rendering of the characters' expressions and the richly decorated interior, which reflects the opulent tastes of the period. The composition of the painting draws the viewer's eye to Trissotin, who stands at the center, his posture and expression exuding a sense of smug satisfaction. The women around him are portrayed with varying degrees of rapt attention and exaggerated admiration, adding to the comedic effect.

"Trissotin Reading his Sonnet from Les Femmes Savantes" is a fine example of Leslie's ability to blend literary themes with visual art, creating a work that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. The painting not only showcases Leslie's technical skill but also his deep understanding of the social and cultural nuances of the literary source material. Today, it remains an important work in the study of 19th-century British art and its engagement with literary subjects.
