The Reading (La Lecture in French) is a painting by French painter Henri Fantin-Latour in 1877. It was acquired in 1901 by the city of Lyon and by the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon where it is currently conserved. The painting depicts two women sitting in a room. The woman on the right is reading a book leaning on a table covered with a decorative patterned tablecloth and a vase with some flowers. The other woman on the left seems not to listen to the reading as she appears to be distracted.
