The Red Hat

About this work

The painting features a young woman with long, curly hair and a white, off-the-shoulder dress. She wears a red hat and gazes over her right shoulder, her face turned slightly toward the viewer. The background is dark, with hints of foliage visible behind her. A quiet detail in the image is the way the woman's hair curls around her face, framing her features. The folds of her dress are also intricately rendered, suggesting a sense of texture and depth. For more works like this, explore the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
