"Das Lesebuch der Marquise" is a notable work by Russian artist Konstantin Andreevic Somov (1869–1939), who was a distinguished painter and graphic artist associated with the Mir iskusstva (World of Art) movement. This piece, created in the early 20th century, exemplifies Somov's penchant for the Rococo style, reflecting his admiration for 18th-century French art, which he infused with a modern sensibility. The work is characterized by its delicate, refined elegance and often features themes of aristocratic leisure, showcasing Somov's skill in capturing the nuances of light, color, and texture that define the Rococo aesthetic.

"Das Lesebuch der Marquise" translates to "The Marquise's Reading Book" in English, suggesting a focus on themes of literacy, leisure, and perhaps the private, introspective moments of its subjects, likely set against a backdrop of luxurious, idyllic landscapes or opulent interiors typical of Somov's work. The piece is emblematic of Somov's broader artistic contributions, which include not only paintings but also illustrations, theatrical designs, and other graphic works that often explored similar themes of nostalgia, beauty, and the pleasures of life.

As a member of the Mir iskusstva, Somov was instrumental in promoting Russian art that was both nationalistic and appreciative of European influences, bridging the gap between traditional Russian art forms and the wider European artistic movements of the time. "Das Lesebuch der Marquise" stands as a testament to Somov's artistic legacy, embodying the elegance, wit, and sophistication that define his oeuvre. Through this work and others, Somov has left an indelible mark on the history of Russian art, contributing to its richness and diversity at the turn of the 20th century.
