Waistcoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cream-colored waistcoat, "Waistcoat", by an unknown artist. The vest has a high, rounded neckline and armholes. A decorative border runs along the right side and bottom edge. The vest is covered in small, evenly spaced embroidered flowers and leaves in red, green, and brown. A larger, rectangular floral pattern is embroidered on the bottom with a thin red border. The vest appears to be made of silk or satin and is displayed against a black background.
