A young woman appears in profile, her face turned gently to the left and her features softly defined by delicate, blurred brushwork. She wears a wide-brimmed straw hat adorned with large, loosely painted pink flowers and black accents, which sits high on her dark hair. Her skin glows with warm, rosy tones, and her lips and cheeks are touched with subtle pink, echoing the color of the flowers above.

The woman’s clothing is rendered in rich, velvety reds, with a high white collar framing her neck and a black trim outlining the shoulder and bodice. Renoir’s brushstrokes are fluid and soft, blending colors wet into wet, which gives the scene a sense of immediacy and intimacy, while the contours of the figure remain gentle and unfixed. Light falls evenly across the composition, bathing the woman and her surroundings in a gentle, diffuse glow that enhances the impression of a fleeting moment.

The composition is carefully balanced, with the woman’s hat and face occupying the upper left, her torso filling the lower half, and the blurred garden enveloping her from behind. Small details, such as the shadow beneath her chin and the subtle folds in her sleeve, reveal the artist’s attention to the play of light and fabric. No secondary figures are present; the woman is alone in the composition.

The background is an abstract, loosely painted mix of green, yellow, and soft red tones, suggesting foliage without clear definition. In the lower left corner, a horizontal brownish line hints at a bench or railing, partially obscured by the woman's arm. The light source is diffuse and indirect, with the brightest highlights on the woman's cheek, collar, and gloved hand, while the underside of her hat and her right side are softly shadowed.

The paint is applied in broad, visible strokes, especially in the background and on the woman's clothing, creating a textured, almost hazy effect. Edges throughout the painting are blurred and indistinct, with contours dissolving into the surrounding colors, particularly along the woman's sleeve and the brim of her hat. Woman with Glove (Femme au gant) was created by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in the 1890s. The Barnes Foundation dates the work between 1893 and 1895.
