The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white women's Dressing jacket by an unknown artist. It has long sleeves, a high neckline with a ruffled collar and a front closure. The jacket is made of white fabric, possibly silk or cotton, and features intricate lace details throughout, including on the sleeves, body, and hem. The fabric appears to be gathered and ruffled in some areas, adding texture and visual interest. The jacket is displayed on a white mannequin torso. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
