Girl in Fur Hood (Head of a Woman with Fur-Lined hood) is a 1908 oil by Abbott Handerson Thayer, a american_impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a woman's head and shoulders, with a fur-lined hood framing her face. Her dark hair is visible under the hood, and her eyes are cast downward. The background is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The woman's expression is contemplative, and her gaze seems to be directed inward. The use of dark colors in the background creates a sense of intimacy and focus on the subject. This portrait is reminiscent of the works of Abbott Handerson Thayer, an American artist known for his use of chiaroscuro and attention to detail.
