The artwork titled “Lady Wearing a Straw Bonnet (Morning Promenade)” was created by Giovanni Boldini between 1902 and 1905. It belongs to the Impressionism and Kitsch art movements, and falls within the portrait genre.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted elegantly walking, adorned with a straw bonnet. Her attire is sophisticated, featuring a high-collared dress that conveys a sense of poise and grace. The background is a soft, blurred mix of earthy tones, emphasizing the transient nature of the scene, characteristic of Boldini’s impressionistic style. The loose, sweeping brushstrokes imbue the figure with a sense of movement, as if captured mid-stroll during a morning promenade. The overall composition exudes a delicate balance of refinement and spontaneity, showcasing the artist’s mastery in portraiture.
