Artist, American, active c. 1935

This is a painting of a woven straw bonnet. The bonnet is depicted in a soft and realistic manner, showcasing its detailed texture and structure. The straw part of the bonnet is skillfully rendered, highlighting the interwoven fibers that create a domed shape over the head. Attached to the base of the straw bonnet is a light, cloth-like material that drapes downward. This cloth appears to have fine grid-like stitching and culminates in loose, curved ribbons.
