The Artist's Wife Reading in Bed is a 1888 graphite by Leopold von Kalckreuth, a Impressionism work, depicting Reading, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman in a white nightgown sits up in bed. She holds an open book in both hands. Sunlight slants through a nearby window, lighting up her face and the pages. This isn’t a posed portrait. It feels private, like we’re catching her off guard. The loose watercolor lines keep it real instead of polished. Check out Kalckreuth, Leopold von next.
