Study of a woman with a girl is a 1897 oil by Olga Boznańska, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
The painting depicts a woman with a girl, both facing the viewer. The woman is dressed in a green shawl, while the girl wears a blue dress. The woman's arm is wrapped around the girl, and they are positioned against a gray background. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and her face is blurred, giving the impression of a quick study. The girl's red hair is more defined, and her facial features are also somewhat blurred. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with the muted colors and gentle brushstrokes creating a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation.

Olga Boznańska (15 April 1865 – 26 October 1940) was a Polish painter who was stylistically associated with the French impressionism, though she rejected this label.
