"La Lecture Du Testament" (The Reading of the Will) is a genre painting by the French artist Louis-Léopold Boilly, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. Boilly was renowned for his detailed and vibrant depictions of French urban life, particularly during the tumultuous periods of the French Revolution and the subsequent social transformations. This painting is a prime example of his work, showcasing his skill in capturing the nuances of human expressions and social interactions.

The painting illustrates a dramatic moment in a bourgeois setting, where a diverse group of individuals has gathered to hear the reading of a deceased person's last will and testament. The scene is rife with tension and anticipation as the potential heirs await the distribution of the estate. Boilly's attention to detail is evident in the varied reactions portrayed on the faces of the attendees, ranging from hope and greed to shock and disappointment.

"La Lecture Du Testament" is a testament to Boilly's mastery of the genre scene, a form of painting that depicts incidents from everyday life. His work provides a window into the private and public lives of the French middle class at the turn of the 19th century. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insights into the social customs and interpersonal dynamics of the period.

As a notable piece in Boilly's oeuvre, "La Lecture Du Testament" has been studied for its artistic techniques, such as the use of lighting, composition, and color to convey the mood of the scene. It also contributes to the understanding of the evolution of genre painting in France and the broader European context.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and enthusiasts who are drawn to the rich storytelling and the vivid portrayal of 19th-century French society encapsulated in Boilly's work.
