Girl with a Blue Scarf is a 1917 oil by Gwen John, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a young girl wearing a blue scarf. She's dressed in a long-sleeved purple shirt and a dark skirt, with her hands clasped together in front of her. The background is a simple, light-colored wall. The girl's face is serious, and her dark hair is cut in a short, straight style. The artist has used muted colors to create a quiet, introspective atmosphere. The painting is a good example of the artist's ability to capture the subtleties of human emotion.
