The Chocolate Girl or The Chocolate Girl of Vienna is one of the best known pastels of the Genevan artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, which is in the collection of the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. The pastel depicts a maid carrying a lacquer serving tray holding a glass of water and a porcelain cup filled with drinking chocolate. The maid and the objects in the picture are executed with almost photographic accuracy, and the background consists only of a light-colored wall and the floor of plain floorboards. The Chocolate Girl was highly praised by Liotard's contemporaries. Jean-Étienne Liotard, 1744 — painted at 42. Parchment and pastel. 82.5 × 52.5 cm. In the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
