Pinning the Hat

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing "Pinning the Hat" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir depicts two women, one standing and one sitting. The standing woman is on the right, viewed from behind, with long dark hair and a light-colored top. The sitting woman is on the left, wearing a large hat with a ribbon; she has her mouth slightly open and wears a light-colored dress. The standing woman's right hand is pinning a hat on the sitting woman's head. The image features dark and light shading with a range of grays; the background and women's clothing and hair are detailed with varying textures and folds. The overall composition is in a portrait orientation.
