Robe

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Robe" by an unlisted artist depicts a full-length, old-fashioned dress on a headless white mannequin. The dress is made of a gold-colored fabric with a floral pattern. It has a square neckline and short, flowing sleeves. The dress is floor-length, with a full skirt that is gathered at the waist. The dress appears to be made of a rich, luxurious fabric, possibly silk or satin, and features a intricate design with a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves. The dress is displayed on a wooden stand, with the mannequin's hands positioned in front of its body. The background of the image is a plain white wall.
