Reading Parisienne is a 1890 oil by Albert Edelfelt, a Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting depicts a woman in a pink dress, seated on a couch, holding a book. The woman's attire is adorned with white ruffles around the neckline and sleeves, and she wears a bracelet on her left wrist. The background features a floral patterned fabric, with a plant visible behind the woman. The woman's gaze is directed to the right, and her dark hair is styled in a bob with bangs. The overall atmosphere of the painting exudes a sense of quiet contemplation, with the woman fully engaged in her reading. For more works by Albert Edelfelt, explore the Ateneum museum's collection.
