"A Broad Brimmed Hat" is a sculpture by French-born artist Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891–1915), who was a prominent figure in the development of modern sculpture in the early 20th century. Gaudier-Brzeska was associated with the Vorticist movement in Britain, which sought to capture movement and dynamism in art and was influenced by Cubism and Futurism. His work is characterized by its bold, simplified forms and its embrace of direct carving, a technique that involves shaping the material directly rather than modeling it first in clay.

Created in 1914, "A Broad Brimmed Hat" exemplifies Gaudier-Brzeska's avant-garde approach to sculpture. The work is notable for its abstracted form and the way it captures the essence of its subject with minimal detail. The sculpture is believed to be a portrait, although the identity of the sitter is not definitively known. It reflects the artist's interest in non-Western art, as seen in the stylized features and the emphasis on geometric shapes.

The piece was carved from a single block of material, which was a hallmark of Gaudier-Brzeska's practice. He often worked with stone, wood, and other materials that allowed for a direct and tactile engagement with the medium. "A Broad Brimmed Hat" is representative of his work during a brief but intense period of creativity that was cut short by his untimely death in World War I.

Henri Gaudier-Brzeska's contributions to modern sculpture were significant, and "A Broad Brimmed Hat" is a key example of his innovative style. The work is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an important piece within the context of the artist's oeuvre and the broader Vorticist movement. It remains an influential work in the study of early 20th-century modernist sculpture.
