A figure in dark Victorian dress wears an oversized cream-colored hat crowned with a perched brown and blue bird, set against a warm beige ground. The monochromatic portrait is rendered in precise black and white photography or engraving, while the bird and hat trim are hand-colored in soft watercolor washes, creating a whimsical contrast between the formal subject and the delicate natural detail. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
