Edouard Manet

Cleveland Museum of Art

A still life etching of a black bowler hat resting on top of a round box or hat stand. The hat has a wide brim and a short crown. A long black ribbon or hatband is wrapped around the crown. The box or stand is covered in a cloth with visible folds and creases. The background is a light-colored surface. The image is rendered in dark and light shades with cross-hatching and lines. The artwork appears to be an etching on paper with visible texture. The composition features the hat and box centrally placed on a table or surface with horizontal lines suggesting a floor or ground.
