Le Chapeau epinglé is a 1894 by Auguste Renoir, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders, half-hidden by a hat pinned with a flower. Her hair is drawn in quick, loose lines, blending into the background. The hat’s details are sketchy, but the flower stands out with sharper strokes. The artist focused on movement and texture, making the hair and fabric look alive. The drawing feels quick, like a snapshot of a moment. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this style changed art.
