In this tender and intimate scene, Georges Barat-Levraux captures a fleeting moment of childhood: two young girls absorbed in a book. The soft texture of the pastel enhances the gentle atmosphere, with delicately rendered fabrics, gestures, and expressions. The subtly nuanced palette reflects the artist’s refined skill in conveying diffused light and tactile detail. Rooted in the post-impressionist tradition, Barat-Levraux imbues this quiet moment of everyday life with poetic sensitivity.
