The Divine in Blue 1905

"The Divine in Blue" (1905) by Giovanni Boldini is a portrait of a woman in a large, blue hat. The painting is known for its bold use of color and the artist's signature loose brushstrokes. The woman's face is obscured by the hat, creating a sense of mystery. Boldini was known for his portraits of fashionable Parisian society, and this painting is a prime example of his style. The use of blue throughout the composition creates a sense of elegance and sophistication. The painting is currently in a private collection.
