Girl from Laran with Cornflowers is a 1894 oil by Jan Veth, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting shows a young girl standing in a field, holding a bouquet of cornflowers. She is dressed in a long, dark dress with a white apron and a black hat. The girl's face is blurred, but her eyes are cast downward, and her hands are clasped around the flowers. The background of the painting is a blurred landscape with trees and a house in the distance. The girl's dark clothing contrasts with the vibrant colors of the cornflowers, which are painted in shades of blue and yellow. The overall effect is one of simplicity and innocence.
