Here is the first straw hat of the season!
I worked off of a painting of Elisabeth Hudtwalcker, which would be late 1700 to the very early 1800s.
This beautiful hat has soft, natural lines with an asymmetrically shaped brim. The crown rises six inches. The larger, 23″ crown will allow for a full coiffure.
I’ve shown it undecorated as offered and with a simple silk scarf wrapped around the crown. See how easy it will be to decorate and how versatile this hat will be!
I wasn’t sure what I would do as my first piece of the year. Then this painting appeared on my feed.
