1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Winged Hat is a 1890 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat with a feather. Her dress has a high collar and long sleeves, and she holds a small object in her lap. The background is loose, almost blurry lines, like quick strokes. The feather in her hat is the only sharp detail—everything else is soft and sketchy. This style was meant to feel quick and alive, not perfectly finished. If you like this loose, sketchy look, check out Impressionism.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was an American painter in oils and watercolor, and printmaker, active during the American Gilded Age and based primarily in the United Kingdom.
