"Reading a Letter" is a painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created circa 1868-1869. Degas, known for his contributions to Impressionism and his depictions of modern life, often explored themes of solitude and the private moments of women in his works. This painting is no exception, as it captures an intimate scene of a woman engrossed in reading a letter.

The artwork reflects Degas's mastery of composition and his keen observation of contemporary Parisian life. The subject is typically portrayed in a domestic setting, seated or standing, with the letter in hand, suggesting a moment of personal reflection or emotional engagement. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful rendering of the figure and her surroundings, exemplify Degas's skill in creating a sense of depth and realism.

"Reading a Letter" is part of a broader series of works by Degas that depict women engaged in everyday activities such as reading, writing, or ironing. These scenes are often characterized by a voyeuristic perspective, where the viewer seems to intrude upon a private moment. The painting's precise location within Degas's oeuvre and its current whereabouts may not be well-documented, which is not uncommon for some of Degas's works given the breadth of his output and the private nature of many of his transactions.

As with many of Degas's paintings, "Reading a Letter" is likely to be held in high regard for its contribution to the Impressionist movement and for its insightful portrayal of 19th-century Parisian society. The work would be of interest to scholars studying the themes of privacy, femininity, and the socio-cultural context of the period, as well as to art enthusiasts appreciative of Degas's technique and aesthetic sensibilities.
