Young Girl Meditating

Thomas Eakins

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The painting depicts a young girl in a long, light green dress with puffy sleeves. The girl wears a red hat on her head and a necklace with a blue pendant. Her hands are folded in front of her. She stands on a beige floor next to a potted plant with green leaves and red flowers. Behind her is a large, round, reddish-brown object on a stand, and a small wooden bench is partially visible to the right. The background is a mottled brown wall.
