"Indian Girl" is a painting by English artist George Morland (1763-1804). It depicts a young indigenous woman in a striped garment, seated in a natural setting, her gaze directed to the right of the composition. The painting utilizes a loose, painterly style with muted tones, characteristic of Morland's works, emphasizing the subject's melancholy expression. Although the artwork's exact date is unknown, it likely reflects Morland's fascination with exotic subjects, a popular theme in 18th-century British art. The painting's title and subject matter make it a valuable artifact for understanding British colonial encounters with Indigenous cultures.
