The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts the title "Dress" by artist not specified. The dress is made of maroon-colored fabric, possibly silk or satin, with a subtle sheen. The dress has a fitted bodice with a peplum waistline and long sleeves that are slightly flared at the cuffs. The dress features a high neckline and appears to have a backless design. A wide belt cinches at the waist. The skirt falls in soft folds to the floor, with a slight train in the back. The dress is displayed on a white mannequin with no head or arms. The background is a plain gray color.
