Embroidered Dress Front

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Embroidered Dress Front by an unknown artist shows a piece of light gray fabric with a rough, frayed edge on all sides. The fabric appears wrinkled and has several creases across its surface. The fabric features three vertical floral embroidery designs. The embroidery is white and consists of flowers, leaves, and stems. The design starts from the bottom and extends upwards, with the middle design being the longest and the two on either side being shorter and roughly the same length. The bottom of the fabric has a horizontal band of white floral embroidery across the width. The background behind the fabric is solid black.
