Le Lecteur

This painting depicts a male figure sitting by the edge of a window on the left. The male figure sits on a chair and reads to a female figure represented in profile on the right. This painting was part of a collection of 117 works belonging to the industrialist and engineer F.D. Lycett Green and bequeathed to York through the Art Fund, in 1955, in recognition of the remarkable efforts made after the Second World War by its curator to transform it into a gallery of international importance.
