Calling all book lovers! I'm doing research into the consumption habits of readers for an anthropology class of mine, namely, what influences people in the decision to buy books or borrow them, or both. I've created this survey to collect information, and I would greatly appreciate it if you felt like adding your input, and better yet, sharing the survey with a friend!

A Fireside Read

Artist: William Mulready (Irish, 1786-1863)

Date: 1825

Medium: Oil on wood

Collection: Private Collection

Description

This picture, painted in Mulready’s liquid palette of warm caramel tones, is an unusually intimate study of domestic quiet. The little painting on the mantelpiece looks also to be by Mulready. The sitter resembles a Mrs. Leckie, with whom Mulready had a relationship.
