Romantic Novel is a 1898 oil by Santiago Rusiñol i Prats, a Art Nouveau work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting, Romantic Novel, shows a woman sitting in a chair beside a fireplace. She is dressed in dark, Victorian-style clothing and holds a book in her lap. The room is dimly lit, with the fire providing the main source of light. The walls are painted a light color, and there is a large mirror above the fireplace. The woman's face is blurred, and her eyes are cast downward, as if she is reading or lost in thought. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and introspection.
