The Red Bow is a 1902 oil by Charles Webster Hawthorne, a american_impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting depicts a woman in a green dress, with her head turned to the right. She is wearing a red bow in her hair and has her left hand resting on her hip. The background of the painting is dark, with hints of green and brown. The woman's dress is painted in loose, expressive brushstrokes, giving the impression of movement and energy. Her face is turned away from the viewer, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and dress.
