Jesse Steele, Reading (1898). John White Alexander (American, 1856-1915). Oil on canvas. 

Alexander painted exceptional Impressionist fin de siècle portraits of women. Jessie Steele, Reading is a fluid, compositionally masterful profile of a young house servant. This work illustrates several influences derived from French Impressionism, including filtered light, active brushwork, and a bright palette.
