Suit

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Brown coat with large sleeves and high collar, featuring intricate floral embroidery in shades of gold, white, and blue. The coat is open in the front, revealing a cream-colored interior lining. It hangs on a wooden hanger with a metal hook, displayed on a mannequin or dress form. The coat's fabric has a textured pattern. The embroidery is prominent on the front, cuffs, and hem. The coat appears to be a historical or traditional piece, possibly from the 19th or early 20th century, by artist Suit.
