About the piece
Painted in 1913, Rik Wouters' 'Woman Reading' captures a quiet domestic moment with the bold energy characteristic of the Belgian Fauvist movement. The subject, likely the artist's wife Nel, is rendered with expressive red and white stripes that dance against a luminously colored interior background.
