Man's Night Cap

Doris Beer

National Gallery of Art

This drawing depicts a beige cap-like object from two views. The larger view is positioned on the left and appears to show the cap as it would look when worn, giving it an oval shape with curved edges. Near the bottom right corner, there is a smaller depiction of the cap that appears to show it when not being worn, and it looks much flatter. Both views show thin stitching along the seams and "WA 6" embroidered near the bottom edge. Two small strings hang down from the cap. The background is plain beige paper.
