Two Girls Reading (French: Deux Enfants Lisant) is a 1934 painting by Pablo Picasso. Since 1994, it has been at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.^[1]

In 2002, UMMA included it in an exhibition called Picasso: Masterworks of the Collection.^[2][3]

The figure on the left is thought to be Marie-Thérèse Walter, the twenty-three-year-old woman who gave birth to Picasso's daughter Maïa in 1935.^[1][4][2] The figure on the right is thought to be either Walter's sister, or Picasso's first wife Olga Koklova.^[1]

The painting shows Picasso's "fascination with the subject of women engaged in everyday activities and are united in their ability to convey intensity and peaceful contemplation simultaneously."^[3]
