A Turkish Girl is a 1837 oil by Karl Bryullov, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting depicts a young girl with dark hair, wearing a headscarf and a white dress. She is shown from the chest up, with her body angled to the right and her head turned to the left. Her expression is calm and introspective. The background of the painting is a warm, golden color, which complements the girl's dark hair and clothing. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the girl is lost in thought.
