Woman's Informal Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Woman's Informal Robe by an unknown artist depicts a gray robe with a floral pattern. The robe has a round neckline and short, wide sleeves. A decorative border surrounds the robe, and another decorative line runs diagonally across the front. The robe is shown laid flat, with the front side facing up. The robe appears to be made of a lightweight material and has a loose, flowing design. The robe's hem is curved and the fabric appears to have a subtle sheen. The background of the image is grey.
