Liseuse (The Reader) is a 1895 ink by Georges Daniel de Monfreid, a Impressionism work, depicting Reading, held at National Gallery of Art.
A woman sits in a chair, reading a book. Light slants across her lap and the page. She’s dressed in dark clothes, the room behind her plain. This is a lithograph—ink pressed onto paper—not paint on canvas. Lithography lets the artist draw on stone with greasy crayon, then roll on ink. The result feels soft, like a sketch. Look up Georges Daniel de Monfreid.
Georges Daniel de Monfreid (1895–1895) was an artist.
