Adelaide is a 1898 oil by E. Phillips Fox, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a young girl in a white dress, with a matching bonnet and apron. She sits with her hands clasped together, looking straight ahead. The background is dark, which highlights the girl's white clothing. The girl's dress has a high neckline and long sleeves, with a ruffled apron over it. Her bonnet is tied under her chin, and she wears white shoes. The overall effect is one of simplicity and innocence. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality.
