Nude with Hat 1909

"Nude with Hat" is a painting by American artist William James Glackens, created in 1909. The work depicts a woman wearing a black hat and seated, partially nude, against a reddish-purple background. The loose, gestural brushstrokes and the muted color palette are characteristic of Glackens' style, which was influenced by Impressionism and Ashcan School art. This intimate portrait captures a sense of both sensuality and vulnerability, reflecting Glackens' interest in capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people. The painting is currently in a private collection.
