She Won’t Say to the Hat — C. Jay Taylor, 1895

She Won't Say to the Hat is a richly colored late nineteenth-century Puck illustration by C. Jay Taylor, combining fashion, social observation and playful satire. Two dramatically dressed women command the foreground of an elegant outdoor gathering, surrounded by fashionable spectators, flowering grounds and a distant mansion.

An extravagant floral gown and elaborate hat contrast beautifully with the tailored brown ensemble of the opposing figure. Soft greens, pinks, yellows, blues and warm earth tones give the composition the delicacy of a period fashion plate, while exaggerated accessories and expressive gestures reveal the humorous character of Puck magazine illustration.
