This print is based on a small painting of Katz's wife, Ada in a Pillbox Hat, 1961. Katz's interest in making images that were of-the-moment is reflected in his use of "modern props". The pillbox hat was made famous and fashionable by First Lady Jackie Kennedy around the time of her husband's presidential inauguration in January 1961.
