The Woman with Stilts is a 1890 oil by Jan van Beers, a Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a woman in a vibrant yellow outfit, complete with a large hat adorned with a feather, standing on a staircase. She is dressed in a long-sleeved jacket and pants, with a white ruffled shirt underneath, and wears white shoes. Her dark hair is styled in loose waves. The woman's attire is eye-catching, with the bright yellow standing out against the more subdued background of the staircase. The artist has captured the folds of her clothing in detail, giving the impression of movement and texture. The painting's use of color and composition draws the viewer's eye to the woman, creating a sense of energy and dynamism.
