"The Little Reader" (also known as "La Liseuse") is an oil painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1876 during the Impressionist period. This work is one of Renoir's many depictions of solitary female figures engaged in everyday activities, a theme that he explored throughout his career. The painting features a young girl absorbed in reading a book, exemplifying Renoir's fascination with capturing moments of quiet introspection and the effects of light on color.

Measuring approximately 54 x 65 cm, "The Little Reader" is characterized by Renoir's signature use of vibrant, dappled brushstrokes that convey the play of light and shadow, as well as the texture of the girl's attire and her surroundings. The subject is seated against a blurred, indistinct background that allows the viewer to focus on the figure and her engagement with the book. The soft, warm tones and the gentle rendering of the girl's face and hands reflect Renoir's interest in portraying the beauty and innocence of youth.

As a prominent member of the Impressionist movement, Renoir sought to capture the fleeting moments of modern life, often emphasizing the joy and leisure of Parisian society. "The Little Reader" is a testament to his ability to depict the serene and contemplative aspects of daily existence, contrasting with the more dynamic scenes of social interaction found in some of his other works.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art museums and galleries around the world. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts who are interested in the development of Impressionist painting and Renoir's oeuvre. "The Little Reader" remains an important example of Renoir's contribution to the portrayal of individual figures within the Impressionist canon, offering insight into the artist's technique and thematic preoccupations.
