Woman's Birthday Jacket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a short-sleeved, light-colored jacket with a round neck hole and a front opening. The jacket, titled "Woman's Birthday Jacket" by the artist, has a light-colored fabric with a pattern of various designs. Dark-colored trim and bands run along the edges of the sleeves, sides, and down the center front. The trim on the sides and front is wider than on the sleeves. The jacket appears to be made of silk or a similar material and is displayed flat against a light background.
