Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist shows a cream-colored skirt with floral patterns. The skirt is knee-length and appears to be made of silk or satin fabric with a subtle sheen. There are multiple layers of gathered fabric at the bottom, creating a full and flared silhouette. The lower portion features intricate lace details and ruffles, adding texture and visual interest. A decorative panel with a central motif is visible near the bottom of the skirt. The background of the image is dark brown.
