Ribbon art, also known as ribbon embroidery or ribbon appliqué, became a popular craft and decorative art form, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It allowed for the creation of intricate designs and textures using silk ribbons, often depicting floral motifs, landscapes, or figures. These pieces were frequently framed as decorative wall hangings or incorporated into other textile arts. This particular artwork appears to be a form of silhouette art combined with ribbon and lace embellishments, a style that was fashionable during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, extending into the early Art Deco period. The use of layered ribbons to create the voluminous skirt and the delicate lace for the bonnet and trim are characteristic of the detailed craftsmanship found in such pieces, often made by amateur artists or as part of a domestic craft movement.
