To me, Seton's headgear appears to be a somewhat wilted version of the
mob cap, not stiffened like a bonnet, or really much shaped like one.
Not a poke bonnet because it doesn't hide her face.

It is
run by Mother's Seton's Sisters of Charity, so I've seen the bonnet up
close. It reminds me of the poke bonnet that became popular in the
Romantic
and Crinoline periods. A bit early, I know, but just a thought that
it may
be an early version of the style.
