Wedding veil

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white wedding veil. The veil has a thick band of gathered fabric along the top edge. The gathered fabric is smooth and flat. The gathered fabric is separated from the rest of the veil by a thin dark line. The rest of the veil is off-white, with faded floral lace embroidery over a textured fabric. The lace extends in a triangular shape down from the gathered band. The veil lies on a wrinkled white surface. The surface appears to be shiny. The shiny surface is smooth and flat. The surface fills the rest of the image.
