Girl with Book is a 1868 watercolor by Charles Green, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a young girl standing in a room, holding a book in her hands. She is dressed in a long, white dress with floral patterns and blue accents on the sleeves. The room has a dark-colored wall with a tapestry or wallpaper featuring animals and people. There are two red chairs behind the girl, and a wooden cabinet to her right with a blue and white plate on top. The girl's dress and the room's decor suggest a formal and elegant setting. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft and delicate atmosphere, which is characteristic of Impressionist and Realist styles.
