The Goose Girl is a 1921 oil by Stanley Royle, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a woman in a forest, surrounded by geese. She wears a long orange dress and a white headscarf, and carries a basket in her left hand. The geese are mostly white, with brown patches on their wings and backs. The woman stands in a field of purple flowers, with trees behind her. The painting is done in oil paint, and the brushstrokes are visible. The colors are muted, with shades of green, blue, and purple dominating the scene. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of calm and serenity. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up the use of glazing in oil painting.
