Reading is one of my favorite pastimes and it’s this week’s inspiration for Sepia Saturday. Look what I found on the theme.

I started wondering about what artists have done to portray reading. Here’s what I found.

“The Reader,” B. Morisot, 1888

Reading, Picasso, 1932

Nurse Reading to a little Girl, M. Cassat, 1895
