The title of the work is "Skirt" by the artist Paul Poiret. The image shows a waist-length, tan-colored mannequin wearing a wide, knee-length skirt. The waist of the skirt is tan. The skirt is made of panels of fabric with different colors and designs. Two wide black panels are on either side. Two wide orange panels are in the center. The orange panels have a dragon design in gold, blue, and white. The bottom of the skirt is bordered with a narrow black panel. The left side of the skirt has three vertical black strips of fabric that appear to be tied together. The background of the image is white. A shadow is cast on the right side of the mannequin and the wall.
