Waistcoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-colored waistcoat with floral patterns and one cream-colored sleeve. The waistcoat is made of a gold-colored fabric with intricate floral patterns and designs. The garment is shaped to fit the torso, with a curved silhouette and a flared bottom. A single sleeve, colored cream, is attached on the left side. The right side has no sleeve, exposing the interior lining. The background of the image is plain white. The artist's name is not visually present in the image; however, the title is "Waistcoat".
