Description
This photograph depicts a woman modelling a hat almost entirely covered in fabric-made flowers, all of them going towards her face, making the hat very wide but rather flat on top. The visible rest of the ouffit suggests evening-wear, with a black short-sleeved dress and a set of diamond necklace and earrings.
The photograph has been hand-painted with grey to make the outlines more visible for publication in a newspaper.
