Description
Portrait of a young woman resting under an apple tree and holding onto her boater hat to keep the summer breeze from blowing it away.
A boater (also straw boater, basher, skimmer, cady, katie, somer, sennit hat, or in Japan, can-can hat) is a kind of men's formal summer hat. It is normally made of stiff sennit straw and has a stiff flat crown and brim, typically with a solid or striped grosgrain ribbon around the crown. Boaters were popular as casual summer headgear in the late 19th century and early 20th century, especially for boating or sailing, hence the name. It was also worn by women, often with hatpins to keep it in place.

How pretty, I like the composition and soft colors. Reminds me of a Renoir or other impressionist painting! V/Pamela
