Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image displays a partial illustration of a head, focusing on a hat and the outline of the face. The person's face lacks detailed facial features, showcasing only the shape of the head and neck. The individual is wearing an elaborate, large-brimmed bonnet with multiple layers and gathered fabric, adorned with a delicate scalloped trim along the edge. The hair is not visible due to the bonnet covering the head. The drawing is in a sketch format, with minimal color, suggesting it is either incomplete or intentionally simplistic. No clothing is visible beyond the bonnet. In the lower right corner, there is a smaller sketch of a similar bonnet drawn in fine lines. The background is a plain, unadorned canvas, with no additional elements or scenery present.
