Sant, who was a member of the Royal Academy, often depicted domestic and sentimental subjects, and "The Reading Lesson" is a prime example of his work in this genre. The painting portrays a tender moment between two figures, typically an older figure teaching a younger one to read, capturing the essence of education and familial relationships during the Victorian era.

The composition of "The Reading Lesson" is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's attention to the interaction between the teacher and the pupil. The use of lighting, color, and the intimate setting all serve to emphasize the importance of literacy and the passing of knowledge between generations. Sant's skillful rendering of textures and expressions adds to the warmth and realism of the scene.
