Untitled (Young Girl With Hat, In Chair, Reading) is a 1884 ink by Edward Percy Moran, a Impressionism work, depicting reading, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a girl in a chair with a hat, reading a book. Light falls softly on her face and the page. Her quiet focus feels real, not posed. The artist, Edward Percy Moran, often drew everyday life. This piece uses fine lines to capture small details. Etching lets him control shadows and light. Look for another Moran etching at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
