Waistcoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White fabric waistcoat with pointed top and cutout armholes. The fabric features a repeating pattern of small gold dots across the entire surface. A decorative border runs along the edges, consisting of green, red, and gold floral designs. The border is wider at the bottom, with a more intricate design. The background of the image is solid black. The waistcoat is laid flat, with the front side facing up. The garment appears to be made of silk or a similar smooth material. The overall style suggests 18th-century European fashion, specifically a type of men's waistcoat. The garment is titled "Waistcoat". The artist is not visually identifiable from the image.
