Breeches

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black pants with a shiny appearance, made of satin or similar material. The waistband is folded over to reveal a light-colored interior lining. A black tie-like object protrudes from the top center. Two belt loops are visible on either side of the waistband. Two pockets are on either side, one on the left side appears to have a flap. The pants have a straight leg and are cuffed at the bottom. The background is plain and light gray. Title: "Breeches" by an unspecified artist.
