"Poke" Bonnet

Irene Lawson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large straw hat decorated with ribbons and artificial fruit. The hat is made from a light-colored woven material, with ribbons featuring a brown floral pattern on a pale blue background and fringed ends. The hat is slightly tilted, with the crown leaning left and the wide brim curving around it. Artificial fruit, made of red and yellow pieces, is placed on the right side near the ribbon base for a colorful contrast.
