"A Monk in White Robes Praying Before a Book" is an evocative 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Pierre Subleyras (1699–1749). Known for his fine religious compositions and portraiture, Subleyras demonstrates his mastery of chiaroscuro and the human form in this contemplative work. The painting depicts a solitary monk, cloaked in the purity of white robes, deeply immersed in spiritual reflection as he prays before an open book. The artwork captures a moment of profound devotion and the serene ambiance of monastic life.

Subleyras, who was born in Saint-Gilles-du-Gard and trained in Paris before settling in Rome, became renowned for his ability to blend French classicism with Italian baroque elements. This painting is a testament to his skill in creating a narrative through the use of light, shadow, and the subtle rendering of textures. The monk's focused expression and the intimate portrayal of his private communion with the divine are rendered with a sensitivity that invites the viewer to consider the inner life of the subject.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is generally attributed to Subleyras' mature period, when he had fully developed his style and received recognition for his religious scenes. "A Monk in White Robes Praying Before a Book" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The painting is housed in a notable collection or museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical and aesthetic contributions to 18th-century European art.
