The New Bonnet by Eastman Johnson: A painting depicting a rustic interior scene. A man wearing a green coat, brown pants, and a black top hat sits on a wooden chair beside a fireplace with his hands outstretched toward the fire. The fireplace is on the left, with various objects on the mantle. To the right of the man, a woman in a black dress holds a hat. Another woman, wearing a brown dress and hat, stands with her back to the viewer, holding up a bonnet. The room has wooden floors, a white brick wall, and various household items scattered around. The room appears dimly lit.
