Woman Reading is a 19th-century (portrait painting) by Susan Macdowell Eakins. It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]
Woman Reading probably depicts the artist's sister Elizabeth Macdowell Kenton. It is one of Eakins' many portraits of her family members in interior settings.[1] It was in the collection of Julius Rauzin, who donated it in 1995. Julius Rauzin knew Susan Macdowell Eakins and her sister Elizabeth, and corresponded with them regularly for many years.[2]
