Red Hat 

This portrait, "Red Hat," by Romanian artist Ligia Macovei (1916-1998), depicts a woman wearing a large, red hat adorned with a white flower. The painting utilizes bold strokes and vibrant colors, characteristic of Macovei's style. The woman's face is rendered with a delicate touch, emphasizing her features and her melancholic expression. The background is a swirl of abstract shapes in greens, blues and blacks, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. Macovei's work often explored themes of femininity and emotion, and "Red Hat" is a poignant example of her artistic exploration.
