Smiling Margot Wearing a Ruffled Bonnet

Mary Cassatt

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a young child seated on a comfortable chair. The child is facing forward with a relaxed sitting pose, soft facial features, a slight smile, and partially visible hair framed by a large bonnet. They are wearing a simple garment, and there is a decorative bow around the neck. The background is a blank page with visible creases and smudges, and the number "131" is written in blue above the child's head. The sketch is rendered with delicate pencil strokes.
