"Reader" is a painting by the Scottish artist John Pettie, created in 1880. Pettie, who was known for his historical and genre scenes, was a prominent figure in the Victorian art world. Born in Edinburgh in 1839, Pettie moved to London in 1862, where he became a member of the Royal Academy of Arts. His works are characterized by their meticulous attention to detail, dramatic compositions, and rich color palettes.

"Reader" exemplifies Pettie's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the quiet moments of everyday life. The painting depicts a young woman engrossed in a book, seated in a comfortably furnished interior. The setting is intimate, with warm, subdued lighting that highlights the serene atmosphere. Pettie's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's contemplative expression and the delicate textures of her clothing and surroundings.

The subject of reading was a popular theme in Victorian art, reflecting the era's emphasis on education and intellectual pursuits. Pettie's "Reader" not only showcases his technical prowess but also offers a glimpse into the cultural values of the time. The painting invites viewers to ponder the woman's thoughts and the content of her book, creating a sense of connection and curiosity.

"Reader" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. Pettie's ability to convey emotion and narrative through his art has ensured his place among the notable artists of the 19th century.
