Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a reddish-brown petticoat by artist unknown. The garment is a knee-length, full skirt made of textured fabric. The fabric has a subtle leaf pattern and a shiny appearance. The skirt is gathered at the top and has a center seam. The top of the skirt is attached to a cream-colored fabric band. The band encircles a white mannequin neck. The mannequin is attached to a metal pole on a square brown base. The background is a plain off-white color.
