The artwork titled “Woman with Hat” was created by the artist Edouard Vuillard in 1912. This oil on board painting measures 41 x 55 cm and is a portrait belonging to the Post-Impressionism movement. Currently, the painting is held in a private collection.
In “Woman with Hat,” we observe a female subject depicted with soft, yet expressive brushwork indicative of the Post-Impressionist style. The woman is wearing a large brimmed hat that dominates the composition, casting shadow over her features, which adds both depth and mystery to her visage. The background appears to be loosely rendered, with brushstrokes that suggest foliage and blooms, complementing the figure without detracting from her presence. The artist has employed a rich but muted palette of colors, imparting the scene with a sense of warmth. Vuillard’s technique captures the serene and introspective mood of the subject while demonstrating his skill in manipulating light and texture to enliven the composition.
