"Reading" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist Childe Hassam (1859–1935). Created in 1893, this work exemplifies Hassam's skill in capturing the effects of light and his interest in everyday scenes. The painting depicts a quiet moment of leisure, with a figure absorbed in reading, which is a recurring theme in Hassam's oeuvre. The use of light, shadow, and color reflects the influence of French Impressionism, which Hassam encountered during his stays in Paris and embraced throughout his career.

The composition of "Reading" is characterized by a harmonious blend of natural and domestic elements, showcasing Hassam's adeptness at rendering interior scenes with a sense of tranquility and intimacy. The brushwork is loose and fluid, a hallmark of Hassam's mature style, allowing the viewer to experience the interplay of light and texture that brings the scene to life.

As a member of the Ten American Painters, Hassam was instrumental in promoting Impressionism in the United States. His work, including "Reading," played a significant role in shaping the American art scene at the turn of the century. Today, "Reading" is considered an important example of Hassam's contribution to American Impressionism and is valued for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a beloved piece for admirers of Hassam's work.
