Dress

Ruggiero Pierotti

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of an 18th-century style gown. The dress is intricately designed with floral patterns on the fabric, long sleeves with lace cuffs, a fitted bodice, and a full skirt adorned with ruffles and floral embroidery. The lace detailing adds delicacy to the voluminous silhouette of the dress. The artwork captures the richness of historical fashion.
