description: <p>Renoir loved to paint his models wearing hats and bonnets. "He put heaps of them on my head," one model reported. "He took me to the milliners' shops; he never ceased buying lots of hats." Renoir painted these accessories continually, even after his dealer, Durand-Ruel, advised him that hats were going out of fashion and that his works might sell better if he didn't include them. In this canvas, the hat, rather than the woman wearing it, seems to be the focus of attention.</p>
