Jean in a Black Hat is a 1924 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a young girl sitting in a chair, wearing a black hat and a dark coat over a light-colored dress. Her right hand rests on her lap, and her left arm is bent behind her back. The girl's gaze is directed at the viewer. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing attention to the subject's face and hands. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the girl's thoughts and emotions.
