The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a mannequin wearing a dress. The dress is floor-length and made of a light-colored material. It has a square neckline and puffy sleeves. A thin belt encircles the mannequin's waist. The hem of the dress features a floral pattern. A long necklace hangs around the mannequin's neck. The mannequin's hair is styled up. The mannequin appears to be wearing earrings and shoes. The background is a plain wall with a light-colored floor. The dress appears to be an example of an afternoon dress by an unknown artist.
