Opera Hood

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large blue bonnet with a quilted yellow lining and blue trim, accompanied by long, pale blue ribbons. The color palette includes shades of blue, soft yellow, and hints of gray in the ribbons. The bonnet is positioned to the left, showcased in a detailed watercolor with its interior facing slightly outward. To the right are two smaller outlined sketches of the same bonnet, one showing a side view and the other a back view, both appearing less detailed and drawn in light pencil.
