Lady with the red hat by Mieke Van Cauter

Lady with the red hat

40 x 50 cm
Acrylic on Canvas

The woman's face is rendered in grayscale, giving her a statuesque, almost ethereal look. Her eyes are closed, and her expression is calm, thoughtful, and introspective, as if she’s lost in a moment of quiet contemplation. The red beret on her head matches the vibrant red background, creating a striking contrast against the cool tones of her face and clothing. This interplay between red and grayscale brings a strong sense of focus to her facial expression and the overall mood of the portrait.
