Additional floral designs are scattered across the robe. A wave pattern borders the bottom hem. The robe appears to be made from silk or a similar material. A small white tag with the number '2' is above the robe. A small label reading 'THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART' is to the bottom right. The robe is displayed on a wall, mounted on a pole. The artist and title of the piece are "Boy's Robe".
