Breeches

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Yellow suede breeches with a drawstring at the waist and laces at the bottom of the legs. The breeches have two front pockets, one on each side. A seam runs down the center front and back. Small metal buttons are on either side at the waist. The garment appears worn, with darker and lighter patches and creases throughout. The cuffs at the bottom of the legs have multiple slits and are tied with thin laces. The background is light gray. Breeches by an unknown artist.
