The Goose Girl is an 1891 painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, a French academic painter.

It is part of the permanent collection of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University.

[1] The life-size character in the foreground (on a frame measuring 152 × 74 cm) is that of a young girl represented full-length, turned to the right, her face oriented towards the viewer, slightly bent and smiling.

She wears a blue skirt, a shawl on the shoulders placed on a white shirt with short or rolled up sleeves.

Barefoot on a dirt road, she imposes herself on a flock of geese visible on both sides in the background against a background of green foliage, a wand in her hand, thereby indicating her function as a guard.
