Ensemble

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a mannequin wearing a long-sleeved brown dress. The dress consists of a full brown skirt and a short-sleeved shirt covered by a long-sleeved overskirt. The overskirt has a cape-like piece around the neck and shoulders and horizontal rows of ruffles around the bottom hem and sleeves. The mannequin's head and feet are not visible. Its left hand holds a small white purse with a long strap and a decorative clasp; the right hand rests on the purse. The mannequin's hands are covered with long brown gloves. A gray gradient background surrounds the mannequin; it is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. The image title is "Ensemble."
