Woman Reading probably depicts the artist's sister Elizabeth Macdowell Kenton. It is one of Eakins' many portraits of her family members in interior settings.[1] It was in the collection of Julius Rauzin, who donated it in 1995. Julius Rauzin knew Susan Macdowell Eakins and her sister Elizabeth, and corresponded with them regularly for many years.[2]
