Artwork Title: Die Lektüre (Reading)

Die Lektüre (Reading), 1910

Sigismund Righini

The artist reads (aloud) a newspaper, while two women, assumed to be his wife Constance and daughter, Katharina (Katie) sit at the table (listening?). ...During his studies, he met here the art student Constance Macpherson (1871-1957) from England, whom he married in 1893. After staying in Italy and in Ticino, where the couple's daughter Katharina (1894-1973, later writer and wife of the Zurich artist Willy Fries, mother of the artist Hanny Fries) was born, the young family moved to Zurich in 1897.
