The image shows a bonnet with a long purple ribbon hanging from the back. The bonnet has a soft color palette with shades of light brown and purple, and the ribbon adds a deep violet contrast. Positioned on the right side of the image, the bonnet's edge faces the viewer, displaying its quilt-like texture and detailed edges. The material of the bonnet appears textured with intricate patterns, and the ribbon flows down with a fringed tassel at the end. The name "Charles Johnson" is signed in the bottom right corner.
