About this work

The painter shows a woman in a dark dress sitting on a chair. She reads to a little girl in a white dress who stands between her knees. A lamp glows on a table beside them. This scene feels quiet and close. It looks like a normal day in early 1900s America. The artist often painted family moments like this. Check out George Bellows at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
