The Capuchin Doll is a 1775 oil by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a young girl with blonde hair, wearing a brown dress and a white headscarf with a blue stripe. She's holding a doll dressed as a Capuchin monk. The girl's face is blurred, but her eyes are looking up. The girl's hand is resting on a small wooden box, and she's holding the doll with her other hand. The background is dark, which makes the girl and the doll stand out. If you're interested in more paintings like this, you might want to check out the work of Jean-Baptiste Greuze.
