În fața șemineului is a 1916 unspecified by Jean Neylies, depicting Reading, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A woman in a patterned dress sits in a chair, reading a book by dim light. Behind her, a dark green wall holds a shelf with a clock, vases of flowers, and a mirror showing a candlelit room. The fireplace has a cold, dark grate, and a small table beside it holds a lamp with a yellow shade. The clock’s face is gold, and the brushstrokes are thick where light hits the objects. The woman’s focus on her book feels quiet and private. Want to know more about the artist who painted this? Try looking up Neylies, Jean.
