Dress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a woman wearing a dress by artist Charles James. The woman is wearing a white dress with floral designs and a black shawl. The dress is full and flared, reaching down to her ankles. It has a fitted bodice with a low neckline and long, puffy sleeves. The dress is decorated with intricate floral patterns in shades of red, orange, and blue. A large black shawl or cape is draped over her shoulders, covering her head and neck. She is also wearing a black hat with a gold band and a white glove on her right hand. Her left hand is bare and she is holding a wooden object. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The woman is standing in a neutral pose, with her feet together and her weight evenly distributed on both feet.
