Night Cap

Marie Alain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of a bonnet with a large rounded crown and a wide ribbon tied in a bow at the bottom. The bonnet has intricate lace-like embroidery on the bands across the crown. The color palette is soft and muted, mainly light beige, cream, and hints of a warm undertone. The bonnet is positioned centrally within the image, with the ribbon trailing downwards from the sides.
