Girl Meditating is a 1916 oil by Adolphe Borie, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a young woman sitting in a chair, with her chin resting on her hand. She is dressed in a white sleeveless top and a dark skirt, and her short brown hair is styled in a bob. The background of the painting is a mix of green and blue hues, with some red accents. The woman's pose and expression suggest that she is deep in thought, lost in her own world. Her eyes are cast downward, and her eyebrows are slightly furrowed, giving her a contemplative look. The painting's use of color and composition creates a sense of intimacy and quiet reflection. The artist's use of oil paint adds a sense of texture and depth to the work. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the term "impasto".
Adolphe Borie (1877–1934) was an artist, born in Philadelphia.
