Robe à la Polonaise

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Robe à la Polonaise by an unknown artist. The image shows a full-length, light-colored dress on a mannequin. The dress has a fitted, quilted bodice with a square neckline and long sleeves that are gathered at the wrist. The skirt is long and divided, with a thick underskirt visible at the front and a decorative overskirt draped over the sides and back. The overskirt has diagonal quilted lines. The mannequin is white and headless, with a small wooden stand visible under the skirt. The background is plain and light-colored.
