Bust of a Young Girl Wearing a Straw Hat 1917

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Bust of a Young Girl Wearing a Straw Hat" from 1917 is a portrait of a young woman in a relaxed, almost informal pose. The painting's loose brushstrokes and hazy background are characteristic of Renoir's Impressionist style. The artist's signature can be seen in the top left corner. The painting's subject matter is rendered in warm, soft tones, capturing the subtle beauty of a young woman's face and the soft light of a summer day.
