Woman's Jacket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Woman's Jacket by an unknown artist is a black and white photograph of a jacket. The jacket has a mandarin collar, short sleeves, and a straight hem. It is decorated with intricate embroidery featuring a repeating pattern of flowers, butterflies, and other foliage. The embroidery is a lighter shade than the rest of the jacket. There are two rows of buttons down the front, but they are not clearly visible. A small rectangular tag on the bottom right of the image reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK" and some numbers. The background is a plain gray wall. The jacket appears to be on display on a pole.
