"Leontine Reading" is an oil painting by the French Impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1892. The painting depicts Léontine Renaude, the daughter of a seamstress who worked for the Renoir family, absorbed in reading a book. Renoir's portrayal of Léontine is a testament to his interest in capturing moments of everyday life and the charm of youth. The work is characterized by Renoir's signature use of vibrant light and color, which imbues the scene with a sense of warmth and intimacy.

In "Leontine Reading," Renoir's brushwork is loose and fluid, allowing the colors to blend together harmoniously, a technique that contributes to the overall impressionistic quality of the painting. The subject is seated in a relaxed, informal pose, which is typical of Renoir's informal representations of figures, especially children. The painting's composition focuses on the act of reading, a theme that has been recurrent in art history, symbolizing introspection and the pursuit of knowledge.

As with many of Renoir's works, "Leontine Reading" reflects the artist's fascination with the beauty of the human figure, especially females, and his desire to capture the fleeting moments of life. The painting is a fine example of Renoir's mature style, where he combined elements of Impressionism with a stronger emphasis on line and form. This piece contributes to the understanding of Renoir's oeuvre and the broader context of Impressionist painting at the end of the 19th century.

"Leontine Reading" is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, allowing the public to appreciate Renoir's mastery in portraying the simple yet profound moments of daily existence. The painting continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and as an illustration of Renoir's enduring legacy in the world of art.
