About this work

The painting shows two women reading a book together. They are sitting in a quiet room with soft lighting. The women seem lost in thought, which makes the scene feel calm. The artist used a simple setting to focus on the women's faces. Their expressions are subtle, but you can tell they're engaged in the story. Check out the work of artist: Clarence H. White (American, 1871–1925) for more like this.
