“Women with Cherries on Her Hat” is an artwork created by Kees van Dongen in 1905. The piece belongs to the Fauvism art movement and is classified within the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a woman adorned with a hat embellished with several bright red cherries. The background is composed of a muted, yet textured, palette of blues and grays, juxtaposing the woman’s vivid facial features. The woman’s face is characterized by expressive, bold brushstrokes, a gleaming green hue under her eye, and bright red lips, contrasting sharply against her pale skin. The hat, distinctly rustic in style, draws immediate attention through its whimsical decoration. The portrayal exudes a sense of whimsy and boldness, attributes that are emblematic of the Fauvist style.
