A Lady Reading is a 1868 by Francis Seymour Haden, depicting Reading, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
She sits in a chair by a window, reading a book. Light falls on her face and hands. The rest of the room stays dark. This feels quiet and private. Haden was a surgeon who made prints too. The way he draws light feels real. Check out how he uses light. Compare it to Rembrandt’s prints in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Francis Seymour Haden (1818–1910) was a British artist.
