Cap

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white, off-white or cream-colored cap. The cap is made of fabric, likely cotton or silk, and has a gathered and ruffled section on the right side that extends down to the bottom. There are three vertical strips of lace or eyelet on the front of the cap, one in the middle and one on either side. The cap appears to be tied at the back with long ties. The background of the image is a plain off-white or light gray color. The overall style of the cap suggests it may be from the early 20th century or an historical reproduction. The cap is by artist not specified but titled "Cap".
