Shaker Bonnet

Wilbur M Rice

National Gallery of Art

This painting depicts a detailed rendering of a bonnet with a woven pattern. The bonnet is made of straw or a similar material, featuring intricate basket-weave detailing. It is bordered with a ruffled trim in a blue-gray color that extends into a long tail-like extension. The shading and attention to detail emphasize the textures. The background is plain, focusing on the bonnet. This style is reminiscent of the 18th or 19th centuries.
