Young Woman Wearing a Large Hat 

Gwen John, a Welsh artist known for her portraits and figure studies, created this intimate portrayal of a young woman. The painting depicts a woman with a soft expression, wearing a large, dark hat and seated with her hands clasped in her lap. The use of muted colors and subtle brushstrokes creates a sense of quiet contemplation, highlighting the subject's introspective nature. John's minimalist approach emphasizes the subject's form and creates a timeless, yet deeply personal work.
