Headdress

Eva Noe

National Gallery of Art

This image shows an illustration of a bonnet that covers the head but leaves the facial area blank. The headwear is styled in a historical fashion with a decorative bonnet adorned with frills or ruffles. The hair is styled underneath the bonnet, with curls framing the bonnet's edges. A ribbon or bow is tied under the chin area. The background contains a smaller, detailed side view sketch of the bonnet, accentuating its layered and frilled design.
