Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist is a cream-colored skirt that falls below the waist. The skirt is made of shiny fabric, possibly satin, and features a ruffled trim at the bottom. A layer of lace is visible underneath the satin. The skirt appears to be knee-length or longer and has a full, flared shape. It is displayed on a mannequin against a solid black background.
