The image shows a large vintage bonnet with a wide, rounded brim made up of several overlapping layers. The bonnet is predominantly green with hints of brown. It is positioned slightly right of center on a plain background. The bonnet's ribbons extend downward, and a soft bow is gathered at the base of the brim, adding a three-dimensional quality to the composition.
