Vintage artwork titled "The Reading Lesson" by Charles Burton Barber depicts a scene in a Victorian home with a little girl leaning against a wall and holding her pet dog close to her. She has a book open in front of the dog's face, and she's conducting a reading lesson for the dog. The English artist, Charles Burton Barber (1845-1894) found great success with his paintings of children and their pets. He was regarded as one of Great Britain’s finest painters of animals. He received commissions from Queen Victoria to paint portraits of herself with her grandchildren and dogs, as well as of the Prince of Wales (Edward VII) and his pets.
