The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Woman's Robe by unknown artist. The robe has wide, short sleeves and a triangular collar pointing upwards. The robe is primarily blue with an intricate pattern of light swirling lines and various floral and botanical motifs in shades of light blue, gray, and beige. A seam or a straight band runs down the middle of the robe from the neck to the hem. The robe appears to be made of fabric and is laid flat against a light blue background.
