Vrouw in bontkraag en muts 1873 - 1932

"Vrouw in bontkraag en muts" (Woman in fur collar and hat) is a watercolor painting by Dutch artist Wilhelmus Johannes Steenhoff, created between 1873 and 1932. The painting is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and depicts a woman wearing a hat with a fur collar and a red feather. The subject is portrayed with a distinct, impressionistic style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than strict realism. This quick sketch-like approach is typical of Steenhoff's work and suggests a quick observation of a woman in an urban setting. The painting's muted palette further enhances the impressionistic feel.
