Quaker Bonnet

Hedwig Emanuel

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a large bonnet with a pleated cap section and long ties in a muted mustard brown color. The color palette mainly consists of variations of brown, giving depth to the pleated area and ties. The bonnet is centrally positioned in the image. Below and slightly to the right, there is a smaller sketch-like drawing of a similar bonnet outlined in light pencil or ink, emphasizing the size difference and drawing attention back to the larger colored bonnet.
