Histoire du Costume en France: Dames de Paris

Paul Gavarni

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of two female figures. The figure on the left wears a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline and a long skirt. A sash is tied around her waist. She has a head covering and a tall, pointed headdress. The figure on the right wears a similar dress but with a lower neckline. Her sleeves are puffy at the top. She wears a head covering that covers her hair and neck. Both women wear dark shoes. The drawing is in a rectangular frame with text at the top that reads "HISTOIRE DU COSTUME EN FRANCE." Below the drawing, it says "DAMES DE PARIS." The background appears to be a newspaper page.
