Smoking jacket

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two mannequins display jackets. The mannequin on the right displays a knee-length jacket with a lapel collar, made from fabric featuring a vertically striped pattern in pink, blue and orange. The lapel and cuffs are made from dark grey fabric. The mannequin on the left displays a long jacket with a folded collar. The jacket reaches just above the knee and features a pattern of golden teardrop shaped motifs on a pink and brown background. Both mannequins are on square metal bases and have featureless, light beige bodies. The background is a plain light purple color.
