"The Straw Hat" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1625. This portrait is celebrated for its vivid depiction of a young woman adorned with a wide-brimmed straw hat, a fashion accessory that was popular among women of the higher social classes during the 17th century in Europe. The painting is executed in oil on oak panel, a medium commonly used by Rubens and his contemporaries.

The subject of "The Straw Hat" is believed to be Susanna Lunden, also known as Susanna Fourment, who was the artist's sister-in-law and a frequent model for his works. She is portrayed with a direct gaze, engaging the viewer with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The light falls softly on her face, highlighting her youthful features and the texture of her skin, while the broad strokes capture the movement of her attire and the delicate interplay of light and shadow on the straw hat.

Rubens' mastery of color and form is evident in this work, as he skillfully contrasts the warm flesh tones of the woman's face with the cool, verdant background. The painting's composition, with its dynamic diagonal lines and the lively expression of the sitter, reflects the Baroque style's emphasis on movement and emotional engagement.

"The Straw Hat" is held in high regard for its technical brilliance and its role in showcasing Rubens' ability to convey the character and status of his sitters through portraiture. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
