Girl with Red Hair is a 1890 watercolor by Benjamin Williams Leader, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a young girl with striking red hair, which is styled in a neat, low ponytail. She wears a dark blue dress with a white collar, and her gaze is directed slightly to the left of the viewer. The background of the painting is a muted brown color, which provides a subtle contrast to the girl's vibrant hair. The girl's features are rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in her facial expression and the texture of her hair. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the girl is lost in thought. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Impressionism movement.
A watercolour painting titled *Girl with Red Hair* was created by Benjamin Williams in 1890.
