Unidentified woman in a straw hat

Title

Unidentified woman in a straw hat

Description

Black and white studio image of a woman in a dark coat, wearing a dark straw hat with a narrow brim. The brim is upturned on one side, and an elaborate series of bows circles just inside the brim, ending in a rosette with feathers that droop elegantly over the hat's crown. A slender brooch of what appears to be a bare tree branch decorates her neck just above the collar and final button of the coat.
