Portrait of Susanna Lunden
Portrait of Susanna Lunden, called Le Chapeau de Paille ("The Straw Hat"), is a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, located the National Gallery, London. It was probably painted around 1622-25.
The portrait's subject has not been securely identified, but she may be Susanna Lunden, née Fourment (1599-1628), the older sister of Rubens' future second wife Helena Fourment. If the identification is correct, the portrait probably dates to the time of Susanna
