Portrait of a young Girl is a 1858 oil by Louis Gustave Ricard, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting shows a young girl with curly red hair and a black dress with a white ruffled collar. She is looking directly at the viewer with a neutral expression. The background is dark, which makes the girl stand out. The girl's hair is styled in loose curls, and her dress has a simple yet elegant design. The white collar adds a touch of contrast to the overall dark tone of the painting. This painting is a great example of how artists use chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in their work.
