The artwork titled “Blue Hat” was created by Tarsila do Amaral in 1922. It is part of the Post-Impressionism movement and belongs to the portrait genre.
The artwork depicts a seated woman wearing a large blue hat adorned with flowers, which acts as a central feature and gives the painting its title. The subject is dressed in a loose-fitting blue garment with golden trim, complementing the hue of her hat. The background features a muted, abstract setting, allowing focus to remain on the subject. Her expression is neutral, and the use of soft, blended brush strokes adds a serene, almost contemplative quality to the scene. The color palette is dominated by various shades of blue and green, with subtle touches of red and pink in the flowers on the hat. The overall effect is one of calm and introspection, typical of Post-Impressionist portraiture.
