The artwork Bust of a Woman (Buste de femme) is a painting, created in 1875. Currently, it is housed in the Barnes Foundation. The artwork, measuring 0.15 meters in width and 0.2 meters in height, is a creation of the renowned artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

The painting showcases a woman's bust, her head turned to the left in a three-quarter view. She dons a blue hat adorned with feathers, casting a soft shadow over her forehead. Her face, painted with visible brushstrokes, exudes a gentle and contemplative expression. The background remains largely undefined, emphasizing the subject and her attire. The woman's blue jacket, rendered with similar brushwork, harmonizes with her hat, creating a sense of unity and a calming visual experience.
