The Reading Woman 2010 Calendar

　　Escape routes, paths to enlightenment: books create enticing worlds before which all other realities fade away. The reading woman is a beautiful enigma, an untold tale, a fragment of a life momentarily set free from its long, complex story. This calendar presents twelve quietly joyous studies of women at their books, painted by John White Alexander, Albert Anker, John Currie, Paul Fischer, Frederick Childe Hassam, Peter Ilsted, Carl Larsson, Charles Edward Perugini, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, James Jacques Joseph Tissot, and Theo van Rysselberghe. Each image is accompanied by a brief quote on the subject of books and reading.
