Girl with dogs is a 1847 oil by Narcisse Virgilio Díaz, a Barbizon school work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting depicts a young girl standing in a lush outdoor setting, surrounded by trees and foliage. She is dressed in a white blouse and a long pink skirt, with her blonde hair flowing down her back. The girl is holding a small black and white dog in her arms, while another dog of the same breed sits on the ground beside her. The girl's facial expression is serene, and her eyes are cast downward, as if she is lost in thought. The dogs seem to be gazing up at her with affection, adding to the sense of tranquility in the scene. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of peacefulness and contentment.
