Girl with Music Book is a 1792 oil by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a Rococo painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
The painting depicts a young girl with curly hair, wearing a brown dress and a green headband. She is holding a music book in her hands. The girl's face is turned slightly to the left, and her eyes are cast downward, as if she is reading the music. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the girl and her music book. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the girl and her music.
Jean-Baptiste Greuze (French pronunciation: , 21 August 1725 – 4 March 1805) was a French painter of portraits, genre scenes, and history painting.
