Hans Böhler (1884–1961) interlaces the bluish white flat shades of the elegant Lady in White Hat with the blue-green colored areas of the highly abstracted lush vegetation behind her. In 1916, he navigated in style between Secessionist flatness and expressive coloration. The lady’s hat shades her relaxed features. Her face is gently turned sideways from full frontality as her interest seems to be going for things outside the picture. Still, she stays quietly seated amid the blue-green harmony that surrounds her. Böhler coyly eroticizes the woman portrayed by emphasizing her red lips, long neck, a button over her breast, and her decorative hatband.
