"Reading Le Figaro" (1878) is an oil painting by the American artist Mary Cassatt, who was a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a domestic scene of a woman reading the French newspaper "Le Figaro." This work is notable for its exploration of the private and contemplative moments of women's lives, a common theme in Cassatt's oeuvre. The subject of the painting is believed to be Cassatt's mother, Lydia Cassatt, who is portrayed in a moment of quiet leisure, emblematic of the artist's interest in the lives of women and the intimate spaces they inhabit.

Cassatt's technique in "Reading Le Figaro" reflects the influence of her Impressionist contemporaries, with loose brushstrokes and attention to the effects of light and color. The painting also demonstrates Cassatt's skill in capturing the psychological depth of her subjects, as seen in the absorbed and serene expression of the figure. The artwork is a testament to Cassatt's ability to convey the dignity and inner life of her subjects, often challenging the traditional representations of women in art of the time.

"Reading Le Figaro" is part of a larger body of work by Cassatt that focuses on the social and private spheres of women, highlighting the significance of their everyday experiences. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Cassatt's impact on the development of Impressionism and the representation of women in the art of the late 19th century.
