"Reading" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, created in the late 19th century. As a member of the Madrazo family of painters, Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta was known for his elegant and refined genre paintings, portraits, and works depicting leisurely scenes of the bourgeoisie. "Reading" exemplifies Madrazo's skill in capturing the quiet, intimate moments of everyday life with a keen eye for detail and a masterful use of light.

The painting portrays a woman absorbed in reading a book, a common theme that reflects the cultural value placed on literacy and contemplation during the period. The subject is often depicted in a serene setting, highlighting the private nature of the act of reading. Madrazo's treatment of the subject matter is notable for its realistic representation and the sense of tranquility it evokes.

Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta's work is characterized by his academic training and influence from his time in Paris, where he was exposed to the works of the French Impressionists. While "Reading" adheres to the academic style with its polished finish and precise technique, it also demonstrates a sensitivity to the interplay of light and color that hints at the evolving artistic trends of the time.

The painting is a testament to Madrazo's reputation as a leading artist of his day, celebrated for his ability to blend traditional academic art with the emerging styles of the late 19th century. "Reading" remains an important work within Madrazo's oeuvre, offering insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the period. It continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and as an example of the artist's skill in portraying the subtleties of human experience.
