How have I not seen this painting before? Preparing for a Walk, by Samuel Baldwin, adorns a speckling of blogs and book covers. Yet, I had not seen it before today.
It shows a wide brimmed, shallow crown, dark brown straw hat trimmed in a red ribbon from both the front and back thanks to the mirror.
I am going to need some dark brown straw.
Ohh, lovely hat and painting! Nice details too…gloves and a book on the mantle. Interesting to see the gathered fabric forming a curtain in the fireplace opening.
That’s a nice painting and hat! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Curtain over the fireplace opening…would this be used in the warmer weather? Very nice painting…love the colors and the dark brown straw hat.
