Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a full skirt resembling a petticoat by an unknown artist. The skirt is made of a shiny, light greenish-gray fabric with a textured pattern. The fabric appears to be silk or satin and has a subtle sheen. The skirt is gathered at the top and falls in loose folds to the bottom. The waistband is not visible, but there are small ties on either side of the top of the skirt. The skirt is displayed on a mannequin or dress form, which is only visible from the neck down. The background of the image is white.
