Known for his depictions of fashionable Parisian women in hats, Renoir here devotes himself to a rural version of the theme. Unconcerned with the rigors of modern life, a young woman wearing simple peasant clothing sits alone amid a lush natural setting. Her straw hat emerges as the most detailed element in the picture, with its tight, flesh-colored rosebuds and green grosgrain ribbon. In his late work, Renoir advocated for a return to nature, evidenced here by the subject's total absorption in her surroundings.
