Straw Hat by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Straw Hat by P. Buckley Moss is a 2008 Lithograph, Limited, Numbered Edition from the P. Buckley Moss One Girl Collection. This delicate and airy artwork captures a quiet moment of youthful innocence and gentle reflection.

At the center of Straw Hat, a young girl sits peacefully, wearing an oversized straw hat that frames her soft expression. Her relaxed posture and simple white dress evoke a sense of ease and simplicity, while the minimal background draws full attention to her presence. The hat itself becomes a focal point, symbolizing carefree summer days, imagination, and childhood freedom.

The composition’s openness enhances the feeling of lightness, allowing the viewer to focus on the emotional tone of the piece rather than its surroundings.

Style & Technique

Rendered as a lithograph, Straw Hat reflects P. Buckley Moss’s signature folk-art style, characterized by soft lines, subtle textures, and a restrained color palette.

The gentle use of color—especially the warm tones in the girl’s hair and the soft greens of the hat—creates a harmonious balance. Moss’s minimalist approach emphasizes expression and mood, giving the artwork a timeless and serene quality.
