Doll Parasol

Ernest A. Towers, Jr.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of an open umbrella as the main focus. The umbrella has a wavy, tattered edge, a wooden handle, and a pattern of alternating stripes and lace-like designs in blue, gray, and beige colors. In the background, there is a cream or light beige backdrop. A smaller sketched diagram of the umbrella, including a side view and measurements, is in the bottom left corner. The umbrella is depicted diagonally, with the handle pointing towards the bottom right and the canopy extending towards the top left.
