Girl with Peaches (Russian: Девочка с персиками, romanized: Devochka s Persikami) is an 1887 painting by the Russian painter Valentin Serov.[2]

It is considered to be one of Serov's greatest works[3][4] and one of his most famous.[5][6] Serov's friend and biographer, Russian art historian Igor Grabar, acclaimed it as "the masterpiece of Russian painting".[4][7] According to the book 1000 Drawings of Genius, although the style of the painting (and Serov's early style in general) "has much in common with the French Impressionists, [Serov] did not become acquainted with their work until after he had painted [it]".[8]
