Suit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a two-piece ensemble consisting of a jacket and matching pants, both a uniform golden-brown color. The jacket features long sleeves and a wide collar; its edges, hem, and collar are adorned with brown fringe. A loose-fitting design, the jacket appears to be made of suede or a similar material. A green cord is visible around the neckline, suggesting it may serve as a tie or closure. The pants are straight-legged and made of the same material as the jacket. The entire ensemble hangs from a wooden hanger with a metal hook against a white background. The title of the piece is "Suit".
