Opera cloak

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Opera cloak by Jeanne Lanvin features a light beige or cream-colored fabric with a fur-trimmed collar and hem. The cloak appears to be made of a shiny material, possibly satin or silk. A long fur-trimmed tie or sash hangs down from the center front. The cloak is displayed on a white mannequin with no head or arms. The mannequin has a black pole attached to its bottom. The background of the image is a plain light gray color.
