1939 Tipped-In Print Peter Rubens Chapeau Paille Straw Portrait Susanna XAN3

This is an original 1939 tipped-in color print of Peter Ruben's Chapeau de Paille (Straw Hat), featuring a rosy-cheeked woman gazing coyly from under a most unique hat. It's pretty obvious that the hat isn't really made of straw; in fact it looks like mostly feathers. However, it is thought that the name came from a mishearing of the French poil which might refer more to the hairy, fur-like quality the hat possesses. The model is thought to be a woman named Susanna Lunden.
