An oil on canvas painting of a woman sitting on a day bed in front of a large bay window, reading a book in her lap with her legs out in front of her and crossed at the ankles; the window looks out onto trees and hills with sun streaming in to her; it is overall a quiet, peaceful and bright scene.
Two black silhouettes of men who appear to be upper-class from the 1800s; one is sitting in a chair, reading a book, and the second is standing behind him with one hand on the chair. The black silhouettes are in front of an illustrated scene of a room with a large window to the side of the figures, open to the outdoors.
Today is World Read Aloud day! We’re celebrating by showcasing some literary-minded figures from our collection.
