"Elegant Woman with a Bonnet" is an illustration from the series "Incroyables et Merveilleuses" by the French painter and lithographer Horace Vernet. The series, produced in the early 19th century, depicts the extravagant fashions and outlandish costumes that were popular among the Parisian elite during the Directoire and the French Consulate periods, following the French Revolution. These illustrations serve as a historical record of the fashion and social attitudes of the time, characterized by the "Incroyables" (incredibles) and the "Merveilleuses" (marvelous ones), young men and women known for their extreme styles and affectations.

Horace Vernet (1789–1863) was a prominent French artist known for his historical scenes, portraits, and battle paintings. In "Incroyables et Merveilleuses," Vernet captures the essence of post-revolutionary France, where fashion became a form of political statement and social defiance. The "Elegant Woman with a Bonnet" specifically portrays a female figure, likely one of the "Merveilleuses," adorned in the period's high fashion, which included empire waist dresses, elaborate bonnets, and accessories that emphasized both opulence and a departure from the austerity of the revolutionary period.

The illustration is notable for its detailed rendering of the textures and patterns of the woman's attire, as well as its reflection of the shifting gender norms and the role of fashion in the cultural landscape of the time. As a work of art, it not only showcases Vernet's skill as an illustrator but also provides valuable insight into the social history and cultural milieu of early 19th-century France.
