Coat

Dieulafait & E. Bouclier

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a short, off-white shawl or coat. The garment has a rounded shape and falls just below the shoulders. It features intricate lace-like embroidery throughout. There are five buttons down the back, made of the same material as the coat. The bottom edge of the garment is adorned with long, thin tassels. A small section of ruffles or gathering is visible at the top of the garment. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The garment appears to be displayed on a white stand. The coat is by Dieulafait & E. Bouclier.
