"Child in a Straw Hat" is an oil painting by American artist Mary Cassatt, created circa 1886. Cassatt, known for her perceptive depictions of women and children, was an active participant in the Impressionist movement, despite her American origins and the male-dominated French context in which she worked. This painting is a testament to her focus on the intimate and everyday moments of domestic life, particularly those involving the maternal bond and the innocence of childhood.

The painting features a young girl, thought to be around four years old, gazing directly at the viewer. She wears a voluminous straw hat adorned with a ribbon, which casts a shadow over her youthful features, enhancing the sense of depth and volume in the work. The child's attire and the soft, diffused light suggest a warm, outdoor setting, typical of the Impressionist interest in natural light and its effects.

Cassatt's technique in "Child in a Straw Hat" is characterized by loose brushwork and a bright palette, hallmarks of the Impressionist style. Her use of color and light captures the texture of the child's skin and the straw hat with a sensitivity that underscores Cassatt's skill in rendering the tactile qualities of her subjects. The composition, with the child's face centrally placed and looking outwards, creates an engaging and direct encounter with the viewer.

"Child in a Straw Hat" is part of a larger body of work by Cassatt that explores the theme of childhood and the nuanced expressions of children. Her paintings often reflect a modern sensibility, focusing on the individuality and inner lives of her subjects rather than idealized or sentimental portrayals. This work is emblematic of Cassatt's contribution to Impressionism and her legacy as a pioneering female artist who challenged the conventions of her time.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and study of Cassatt's oeuvre. As with many of Cassatt's works, "Child in a Straw Hat" continues to be celebrated for its insight into the human experience and its embodiment of the Impressionist movement's innovative approach to light, color, and everyday subject matter.
