Girls Reading
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Eugene Carriere captures the essence of a quiet moment in the lives of young girls during the nineteenth century. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 64.8x91.5 cm, showcases a small group of children engrossed in their books. The artist's portrait style focuses on the quarter length view of these brown-haired and brunette girls, highlighting their friendly and interested expressions. One girl rests her arm while leaning on her elbow, displaying an air of concentration as she delves into her reading material. Carriere's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the interior decoration, with its fine art décor adding to the ambiance of learning and knowledge within this intimate setting. The dark hair and caucasian features further emphasize the youthful innocence captured by this French artist. Symbolism plays a role as well, with Carriere using portraiture to explore themes related to childhood and human connection. The open book invites viewers into this world where three seated girls find solace amidst their surroundings. This photograph print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Carriere's mastery even today, showcasing his ability to capture not only physical appearances but also emotions and posture through his brushstrokes. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with past eras.
