Woman's Informal Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a woman's informal robe. The robe is made of dark-colored fabric and has a short, wide sleeve. The robe features intricate designs and patterns throughout, including large circular motifs on the front and smaller floral patterns on the sleeves. A band of diagonal stripes runs along the bottom hem of the robe. The robe appears to be fastened at the neckline and has a curved shape, with a shorter length that falls above the knee. The background of the image is light gray.
