Girl in Red Dress Pinning on Hat c. 1915 - 1916

"Girl in Red Dress Pinning on Hat" is a portrait by American artist William James Glackens, painted around 1915-1916. The painting depicts a young woman in a vibrant red dress, delicately adjusting a floral hat. The use of loose brushstrokes and soft, muted tones creates a sense of intimacy and warmth. The figure’s pose and expression convey a sense of casual elegance, capturing a fleeting moment of femininity. Glackens, known for his Impressionistic style, was particularly drawn to everyday scenes and fashionable subjects, as seen in this work.
