This is a painting of a bonnet with a woven straw-like hood on the top, dark gray fabric that extends downward, and ribbon-like ties hanging from either side. The bonnet is painted with the opening facing the left. Additionally, there are two other sketches on the right showing the bonnet from different angles. The background is beige paper.
