"Artist's Father Reading" is an 1866 oil on canvas painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cézanne. The painting, which measures 198 cm × 119.5 cm (78 in × 47.1 in), is a portrait of the artist's father, Louis-Auguste Cézanne, seated in a red armchair and immersed in the reading of a newspaper. This work is considered one of Cézanne's early masterpieces, created during his formative years when he was heavily influenced by the Old Masters and before he developed his distinctive, mature style that would later significantly impact the direction of modern art.

The composition of "Artist's Father Reading" is notable for its solid modeling of form and the careful arrangement of color and light, which demonstrate Cézanne's academic training and his early interest in creating a sense of structure and volume. The painting's traditional subject matter and realistic approach reflect the influence of 19th-century realism, particularly the works of Gustave Courbet, whom Cézanne admired.

This painting is also significant for its personal context, as it captures a moment in the relationship between Cézanne and his father, who was a successful banker. Louis-Auguste Cézanne's initial skepticism of his son's artistic career adds a layer of complexity to the portrait, which can be interpreted as both a demonstration of the artist's skill and a bid for paternal approval.

"Artist's Father Reading" is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it remains an important work for the study of Cézanne's early period and the evolution of his artistic style. The painting is frequently discussed in art historical literature for its technical and emotional depth, as well as its place within the broader narrative of Cézanne's life and work.
