Summer Robe for Lady
The Summer Robe for Lady by Metropolitan Museum of Art shows a short-sleeved, knee-length robe with a round neckline and a front opening that fastens with ties. The robe is made of a light-colored fabric with an intricate pattern of flowers, birds, and other motifs in a darker color. The sleeves are wide and short, with a contrasting fabric featuring a floral pattern. A decorative border runs along the sides and hem of the robe, featuring a repeating pattern of geometric shapes and flowers. The robe appears to be made of silk or another smooth fabric, and has a subtle sheen to it. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
