Engageantes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image displays two white, circular hat-like objects titled "Engageantes" by an unknown artist. Two round objects with a white, semi-transparent fabric resembling tulle or gauze are visible. The objects are positioned side by side on a black background. Each object has a scalloped edge and appears to be gathered in the center with white ribbons or strips of fabric. The gathered centers have a circular opening. The objects have a lace-like trim around the edges. Small white tags are attached to the bottom of each object, but the text on the tags is illegible. The objects are positioned centrally in the image, with a small gap between them. The background is solid black.
