Bonnet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white mannequin head wearing a beige bonnet with a wide brim and a ribbon tie. The bonnet is made of straw and fabric, with a pink and white striped ribbon tied under the chin. The brim of the bonnet is wide and curved, providing shade for the face. The bonnet has a flat crown and a gathered edge. The ribbon tie is made of the same material as the bonnet and is tied in a bow under the chin. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The bonnet appears to be an antique or vintage item, possibly from the 19th or early 20th century. The artist of the bonnet is not visible, but it is titled "Bonnet".
