"Le Chapeau de Paille, Susanna Fourmont" is a renowned portrait painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, dating from around 1622-1625. The painting is also known as "Portrait of Susanna Lunden" (or "Susanna Fourment") and is sometimes referred to in English as "The Straw Hat," although this title can be misleading as the hat in the painting is actually made of felt. The subject, Susanna Fourmont (née Lunden), was Rubens' sister-in-law and is depicted in a three-quarter view against a landscape backdrop.

The painting is celebrated for its innovative use of light and color, as well as the engaging and direct gaze of the subject, which was somewhat unconventional for the period. Rubens' mastery in rendering textures, from the softness of the skin to the intricate lace and the felt of the hat, is evident and contributes to the lifelike quality of the portrait. The hat, adorned with a beaded medallion and feathers, casts a shadow over Susanna's face, creating a play of light that adds depth and dimension to the composition.

"Le Chapeau de Paille" is often praised for its vivacity and the sense of immediacy it conveys, a testament to Rubens' skill in capturing the essence of his sitter's character. The portrait is a prime example of Rubens' portraiture work, showcasing his ability to blend realism with the grandeur that characterizes much of his oeuvre.

The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it remains an important piece for both its artistic merit and its insight into Rubens' personal life, as it immortalizes a member of his own family. The work continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its place within the broader context of 17th-century Flemish portraiture.
