Two Girls Reading is a 1896 oil by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, depicting Reading, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting shows two girls sitting close together, reading a book. They're both wearing white dresses with floral patterns and big hats with red ribbons. The girl on the left is holding the book and looking down at it, while the girl on the right is looking at the page with her head tilted. The background is blurry, but it looks like they're outside in a garden or park. The colors are soft and pastel, with lots of greens and blues. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy.
