National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a bonnet. The drawing showcases a detailed bonnet with intricate textures and patterns, including wavy lines and gathered fabric. The bonnet features long ribbon ties that drape downwards. Next to the main depiction, there are two smaller, simplified sketch outlines of bonnets, highlighting their front and side profiles. The use of shading and delicate linework brings out the intricate details of the bonnet's design and fabric folds.
