Lace

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The title of the piece is "Lace" by an unknown artist. The image shows a mannequin wearing a long, brown and gold dress with a striped pattern. The dress has a fitted bodice with a collar and long sleeves that are bell-shaped at the ends. A matching fabric sash is tied around the mannequin's waist. The skirt of the dress is full and falls to the floor, with a train extending behind the mannequin. The mannequin wears a hat-like headpiece made of lace and fabric that covers the top of the head and has a short veil that falls down the back. The mannequin's hands are visible, with the right hand bent at the elbow and the left arm extended downward. The background is dark gray, with a lighter gray floor and shadows cast by the mannequin.
