Newspaper Reading (1855). Reinhard Sebastian Zimmermann (German, 1815-1893). Oil on canvas.

A young woman reads a newspaper, perhaps to her father and dog, in a nicely appointed interior. The man holds what may be a snuff box. Both man and dog are very attentive to the news being read. Books sit on the desk to the rear.
