"Series Galerie physionomique: Une lecture entrainante (An absorbing subject)" is a notable work by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Renowned for his social and political commentary, Daumier produced a vast body of lithographs that were published in newspapers and periodicals, particularly in the French magazine "La Caricature," where he often critiqued the social mores and political climate of 19th-century France.

The "Galerie physionomique" series, to which "Une lecture entrainante" belongs, is a collection of lithographs that focus on the study of character and facial expressions, a popular theme in the 19th century, which was believed to reveal personal traits and emotions. The title of the series translates to "Physiognomic Gallery," reflecting the era's fascination with physiognomy, the pseudo-science of assessing a person's character or personality from their outer appearance, especially the face.

"Une lecture entrainante," which translates to "An absorbing subject," is a testament to Daumier's keen observational skills and his ability to capture the essence of human engagement and reaction. In this work, Daumier depicts a scene where the subject is presumably engrossed in reading material, which is a common motif in his oeuvre, often used to satirize the influence of literature and media on the public.

As with many of Daumier's lithographs, "Une lecture entrainante" serves as both a piece of fine art and a historical document, providing insight into the cultural and political landscape of France during the July Monarchy and the Second French Republic. Daumier's work is celebrated for its technical mastery, wit, and its enduring critique of society, which remains relevant to this day.

Daumier's lithographs, including those from the "Galerie physionomique" series, are held in high regard by art historians and are part of the collections of major museums around the world. They continue to be the subject of scholarly study and are appreciated for their artistic merit and historical significance.
