"Dressing the Dead Girl" is a painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet, created in 1850. The work is notable for its somber subject matter and realistic portrayal of death, which was a recurring theme in Courbet's oeuvre. The painting depicts a scene in which two women are preparing the body of a deceased young girl for burial. This intimate and poignant moment is rendered with Courbet's characteristic attention to detail and texture, emphasizing the materiality of the scene and the emotional weight of the ritual.

Courbet was a leading figure in the Realist movement, and his works often focused on ordinary people and everyday situations, challenging the idealized and romanticized subjects that were popular in the art of his time. "Dressing the Dead Girl" exemplifies Courbet's commitment to depicting the unvarnished truth of human experience, as well as his skill in conveying the tactile qualities of flesh, fabric, and other surfaces.

The painting's composition and use of light and shadow contribute to its somber mood, with the figures rendered in a naturalistic manner that underscores the gravity of the moment. The work invites viewers to contemplate themes of mortality, grief, and the rituals associated with death, all of which are universal human experiences.

"Dressing the Dead Girl" is considered an important work within Courbet's body of art and within the broader context of 19th-century European painting. It reflects the artist's innovative approach to subject matter and technique, and it continues to be studied and admired for its emotional depth and realism. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited and discussed in various art historical texts and exhibitions focused on Courbet and the Realist movement.
