The painting titled "Paper Hat" depicts an interior still life scene. The focal point of the painting is a table on which various objects are arranged. Prominently displayed is a bust adorned with a blue paper hat, which stands out due to its bright colour against the otherwise muted and subtle palette of the artwork. Surrounding the bust are several bottles and containers, likely artist's materials, suggesting a studio or workspace setting. The composition includes a palette and other artist tools, reinforcing the theme of an artist's environment. The background is dimly lit, with shadows and soft light creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. The overall tone is calm and reflective, with a focus on the stillness and arrangement of the objects in the scene. The painting's frame and the mount are simple and understated, drawing attention to the artwork itself.
