Portrait of a Lady Wearing a Pleated Bonnet, 1800 - 1850
About the object
In Biedermeier fashion, a lady of society would rarely go bareheaded. The millinery cult was at its zenith during this period. The unity of the hair curls together with the frilly lace crown of the bonnet showcase the woman's face in a lovely way. The portrait forms a pair with the portrait of a gentleman wearing two medals.
