"The Bonnet" (c. 1891) is a drypoint etching by American Impressionist Mary Cassatt. Known for her depictions of women and children, Cassatt captures a young woman in a simple, intimate moment, adjusting her bonnet while looking into a hand mirror. The soft, expressive lines and delicate shading of the drypoint technique contribute to the quiet beauty and timeless appeal of this artwork, which can be found at The Art Institute of Chicago.
