1901 -- Reading an unknown author

In a painting at the Tate Britain

She is reading an unknown book, by an unknown author, with her sister at her side.  The painting's name is "Sisters."  The reader's name is Edith Brignall.  A year after this was painted she married the man who painted the picture -- Ralph Peacock. 

I am posting this picture now because I saw it over the summer and liked it, and didn't have a chance to post it then.  It always makes me happy to find reading portrayed in art.
