Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts Petticoat by an unknown artist, a long, gold-colored skirt made of shiny fabric with a textured pattern. The skirt is gathered at the top and falls to the floor. It appears to be made of a heavy, luxurious material and has a full, flared shape typical of petticoats from a past era. The skirt is displayed on a mannequin or form, with no visible top or upper body. The background of the image is a plain white color.
