"The Picture Book" (German: "Das Bilderbuch") is a notable oil painting by the German artist Walther Firle, created in 1901. The painting is renowned for its depiction of a domestic scene that captures a moment of tranquility and familial intimacy. It features a young mother seated in a well-lit interior, reading a picture book to her three children who are gathered around her with rapt attention. The work is characterized by its warm color palette, detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, and the soft, diffused light that bathes the scene, highlighting the expressions of wonder and contentment on the children's faces.

Walther Firle (1859–1929) was a prominent figure in the Munich School of painting, and his works often reflect the values and aesthetics of the Biedermeier period, emphasizing family life, simplicity, and the joys of domesticity. "The Picture Book" is considered one of Firle's masterpieces and is often cited as an example of his skill in capturing the innocence of childhood and the bonds of family.

The painting has been widely reproduced and has gained a place in popular culture due to its evocative portrayal of the universal themes of learning and the nurturing role of the parent. It has been featured in various art exhibitions and is held in private collections. "The Picture Book" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its ability to resonate emotionally with viewers across generations.
