"Young Girl Meditating" is a watercolor painting by American artist Thomas Eakins, created in 1877. The artwork depicts a young woman in a yellow dress, standing in a contemplative pose. The subject's posture and the presence of a potted plant in the foreground suggest a quiet and introspective moment. Eakins was known for his realistic and often somber depictions of everyday life. The painting's muted palette and the subject's solemn expression contribute to its overall mood of contemplation and introspective calm.
