The image shows a mannequin wearing an intricate, antique dress titled "Lace". The mannequin is white and headless, with no facial features except a thin-lipped mouth. The dress is a long-sleeved, floor-length gown made of brown and gold fabric with a textured pattern. The dress jacket is fitted with a zipper-like closure down the front; the jacket also has a collar and ruffled edges on sleeves and collar. The full skirt features a wide train extending behind the mannequin. The mannequin wears a large, elaborate hat adorned with lace and fabric flowers. The background is dark gray, with shadows cast by the mannequin and dress on the floor.
