"The Reader," also known as "The Woman Reading," is an oil painting by the French impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet created in 1872. This work is one of Monet's early forays into genre painting, where he depicts an everyday scene featuring a woman engrossed in reading a book. The identity of the woman is often believed to be Monet's first wife, Camille Doncieux, who frequently served as a model for his paintings during the early years of their marriage.

Measuring 50 x 65.5 cm, the painting is characterized by Monet's loose brushwork and his use of light and shadow to capture the moment with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The composition is notable for its tranquil atmosphere and the way in which the figure is harmoniously integrated into the surrounding environment, a testament to Monet's skill in rendering the interplay between figures and their settings.

"The Reader" is an exemplar of Monet's impressionistic style, which sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and color rather than the detailed realism that was favored by the academic art of the time. The painting's subject matter reflects the impressionist interest in modern life and leisure activities, as well as the movement's focus on scenes of contemporary bourgeois life.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. "The Reader" continues to be appreciated for its quiet beauty and as a representation of Monet's contributions to the development of Impressionism, a movement that would go on to have a profound impact on the course of modern art.
