The Black Hat
Description
The central figure of a woman in a yellow dress and black hat stands boldly with her hand on her hip. The figure stands to a side profile with her head turned towards the viewer. Wearing a black Torque hat with a large white feather in its peak. The figure stands in a long yellow dress worn by fashionable ladies of the period, her right hand extended. A large mirror hangs above a fireplace that holds two silver candlesticks, an empty blue delft style vase and pink flowers. The mirror holds within its reflection an insight to the interior of the room. The viewer can see within the reflection a wooden door and a partial glimpse of other paintings.
