The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ball gown is by an unknown artist. The dress is a full-length ball gown made of blue-gray fabric with an intricate white paisley pattern. The dress features a low, off-the-shoulder neckline with short, ruffled sleeves and a fitted bodice adorned with lace trim. A blue ribbon is tied around the mannequin's head, matching blue ribbons at the wrists. The mannequin wears a necklace with a pendant and holds a small, ornate clutch purse. The mannequin has white skin and blonde hair styled in a bob. The background is a plain gray color.
