The New Bonnet by Francis William Edmonds: A painting of a family scene indoors. A woman in a long green skirt and black top with a white collar holds up a blue bonnet with both hands. An older man sits to her right, on a plaid rug, wearing a brown suit and red coat; he holds a white bowl in both hands. A woman in a white headscarf, green top, and white apron stands behind him, looking at the woman with the bonnet. A girl in a white dress, brown jacket, and headscarf stands in a doorway to the left, holding a large blue and white bowl. A black dog stands beside her. The room has wooden floors, a fireplace with a large mantle behind the sitting man, and a table with a metal bowl on it to the right. A window to the right and a doorway to the left are shown. Various objects, including vegetables, are on the floor.
