In keeping with a long-standing Nigeness tradition, I'm posting one of his pictures – this year one of his most impressionistic, Woman Reading, a late painting (1880/1) which seems to show a well dressed woman at an outdoor table in a café garden. In fact, by this stage in his life Manet's poor health more or less confined him to his studio, which is where this picture was posed and painted. The leafy background is actually another of Manet's paintings.
