The Cap is a 1893 ink by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph in black on laid paper depicts a woman wearing a cap, facing to the right. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she has a subtle, introspective expression. The background is a soft, muted gray. The woman's attire is simple yet elegant, with a high neckline and a loose-fitting dress that falls to her ankles. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, adding to the sense of quiet contemplation. The overall effect is one of understated beauty, with the artist's use of subtle shading and texture creating a sense of depth and nuance.
