"Portrait of a Girl (Sophie Gray)" is a notable 19th-century painting by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, known for his highly detailed and vividly colored works. Created in 1857, this portrait is a striking depiction of Millais' sister-in-law, Sophie Gray, who was a frequent subject in his artworks. The painting is celebrated for its exquisite detail, depth of emotion, and the artist's skillful use of color and light to capture the delicate beauty of the young sitter.

Sophie Gray was the younger sister of Euphemia "Effie" Gray, who was married to Millais after her annulment from the critic John Ruskin, a union that stirred considerable public controversy. The relationship between Millais and his model was complex, marked by familial closeness but also shadowed by the societal scandal surrounding Effie's divorce and subsequent marriage to Millais. This context adds layers of interpretation to the portrait, inviting viewers to speculate on the sitter's mood and the nature of her gaze.

The painting is executed in the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and an interest in themes of beauty and nature. Millais' technique showcases his mastery in rendering texture and fabric, as seen in the detailed depiction of Sophie's dress and hair. The background, though subdued, complements the subject and enhances the overall intimacy and immediacy of the portrait.

"Portrait of a Girl (Sophie Gray)" is not only a testament to Millais' technical prowess but also offers insight into the personal lives and social networks of the Pre-Raphaelite circle. It remains a significant work for scholars studying the period, the artist, and the intricate web of relationships that influenced the creation of such artworks. The portrait is held in high regard for its aesthetic beauty and as a poignant reminder of the complex interplay between art, artist, and muse in the Victorian era.
