Description
Renoir builds this half-length study in soft, hatched strokes: a young woman leans forward, her shoulders bare, wearing a pale straw hat trimmed with a blue ribbon and a scatter of small flowers. Behind her, loose vertical strokes of gold and ochre suggest tall meadow grass, giving the whole scene the warmth of an outdoor summer afternoon.
Painted in 1880, Femme au chapeau de paille (Woman in a Straw Hat) belongs to the informal, close-up studies of women that Renoir favored in this period, prizing atmosphere and light over narrative detail.
