Description
Jeune femme au chapeau fleuri shows a young woman in profile, her eyes cast downward, wearing a wide straw hat trimmed with pink and white flowers along the brim. She wears a white blouse with full, puffed sleeves gathered at a high collar, and her dark hair is pinned up beneath the hat. The background is a warm, glowing field of ochre and gold, left loosely brushed and unbroken by any setting.
Renoir paints the face with soft, rounded strokes of pink and cream, while the hat and its flowers are built up with quicker, more textured touches of white and rose. The overall warmth of the palette, with almost no cool colour anywhere in the canvas, gives the portrait a soft, glowing quality.
Painted in 1906, this work is reproduced as a hand-painted oil on canvas or as an archival print, offered in a range of sizes to suit a small wall or a larger room.
