"The Sonnet" is an 1839 painting by the Irish-born artist William Mulready (1786–1863), who was known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes of rural and domestic life. This work is a testament to Mulready's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and interaction, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of textures and materials.

The painting portrays a young woman reading a sonnet, a form of poetry that was immensely popular during the Victorian era. The subject is likely engrossed in one of the many sonnets that celebrated love, beauty, or the complexities of human relationships. Mulready's choice of this literary form as the central theme of the painting reflects the Victorian fascination with romantic and intellectual pursuits.

In "The Sonnet," the viewer's attention is drawn to the woman's serene expression and the intimate setting, which suggests a private moment of reflection and enjoyment. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful depiction of the woman's attire and the room's furnishings, contribute to the overall mood of quiet contemplation.

As a work of art, "The Sonnet" exemplifies Mulready's contribution to the genre of narrative painting in the 19th century. His ability to convey a story through visual means, without the need for words, demonstrates the power of painting as a medium for storytelling. The painting is also indicative of the era's cultural values, including the appreciation for literature and the arts, and the idealization of domestic tranquility.

"The Sonnet" by William Mulready is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of Victorian life. It remains an important work within Mulready's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
