Girl with a book is a 1775 oil by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a Rococo painting work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a young girl engrossed in reading a book. She is dressed in a white head covering and a dark-colored dress, with her face illuminated by the light. The girl's gaze is fixed on the book, her eyes cast downward as she reads intently. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the girl's illuminated face, creating a sense of depth and focus. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to step into the girl's world of reading and learning.
