Coat

Cleveland Museum of Art

The coat is red with wide, short sleeves and a short hem that curves outward. A vertical line with a white, blue and gold pattern runs down the center. The coat has a Mandarin collar. The coat features a repeating pattern of ships, buildings, people, and foliage in shades of blue, gold, white, and gray. A wide white, blue, and gold border runs along the hem and sleeves. The border features a design with roundels at the top and bottom of the sleeves. The coat appears to be made of silk and has a traditional Asian design, specifically Chinese, and is likely a cheongsam or changshan. The artist of the coat is unknown but it is titled "Coat".
