Le bonnet hongrois is a 1914 oil by Armand Rassenfosse, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting shows a nude woman sitting on a chair, facing the viewer. She wears a colorful headscarf and a red cloth around her waist. Her left hand rests on her lap, while her right hand is placed on the table beside her. The table holds a white vase with floral patterns. The woman's body is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in her facial expression and posture. The background is a muted gray color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. To learn more about the artist's techniques, look up Armand Rassenfosse.
