It is positioned centrally on the page, slightly angled to the right, with a smaller schematic drawing in the bottom right corner providing dimensions. The hat is surrounded by a plain, light background with faint rectangular border lines drawn in red, and there are some text and small marks scattered, notably in the lower left corner.
