Lace and Straw Bonnet

Henry De Wolfe

National Gallery of Art

A large, circular, lace-trimmed veil or head covering is shown. The veil has intricate black lace detailing and a braided section at the top. The color palette includes black, cream, and a bold red accent from a flower nestled amongst green leaves. The red flower is positioned towards the upper-right section with the cream-colored braid circling around the center. A black ribbon tied into a bow hangs from the front, and a long, cream tassel extends from the bottom right. The ensemble is set against a plain beige background.
