"A Student Reading" is a painting by John Opie, a notable British artist of the 18th century, known for his portraits and historical subjects. The painting depicts a young student engrossed in reading a book, capturing the essence of intellectual pursuit and the reflective nature of study. Opie's work is characterized by its realistic portrayal of subjects and attention to detail, which is evident in this painting through the lifelike representation of the student and the ambient lighting that suggests a quiet, contemplative environment.

John Opie (1761–1807) was born in Cornwall and rose to prominence as a portraitist in London, earning the moniker "the Cornish Wonder" for his naturalistic style and the maturity of his work at a young age. He became a member of the Royal Academy and was highly regarded by his contemporaries. "A Student Reading" is one of Opie's works that reflects his ability to convey character and mood, a skill that made him a sought-after portraitist during his career.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the cultural value placed on education and learning during the period. It serves as an example of the genre of portraiture that goes beyond mere likeness to communicate deeper narratives about its subjects and their contexts. While the exact date of creation for "A Student Reading" is not well-documented, it is reflective of Opie's mature period when he had established his reputation as a leading portrait painter.

As a work of art, "A Student Reading" contributes to the understanding of the genre of portraiture in the late 18th century and offers insight into the societal values of the time. It remains an important piece for study in the oeuvre of John Opie and the broader context of British portraiture.
