John Tarantino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a round, ornate hatbox decorated with intricate floral and scroll patterns. The color palette includes soft pastels of pink, blue, and green, with pops of vibrant red and gold. In the center of the composition, the hatbox is positioned slightly to the right, with the floral motifs draping around its surface, while a red and black band encircles the top edge.
