Victorian-style reading scene reprinted on canvas and framed in a vintage-inspired mini frame. Perfect for bibliophiles, romantics, and gallery walls.
Woman Reading by Lovis Corinth (c.1911).
The woman in this painting is Charlotte Corinth, the artist’s wife, and judging by her surroundings, I’m going to guess her favorite color is blue, closely followed by pink, florals, and maybe patterns that don’t necessarily go together. This painting radiates lively decor, good lighting, and the joy of being left alone with a book you actually want to read. It’s like a snapshot of someone totally content and definitely someone who owns more than one silk robe.
This small antique oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame made using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame. All the beauty of an heirloom without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).
Sized in our Small format, this piece fits perfectly on a book shelf, gallery wall, or any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.

Perfect for:
- people who consider reading a personality trait
- maximalists with a healthy disregard for matching patterns
- anyone whose ideal afternoon includes books, tea, and ignoring their phone
- lovers of bold color, quiet joy, and unapologetic decor
- the friend who buys fresh flowers and already owns a second silk robe "just in case"
