Boy's Coat and Trousers

Henry De Wolfe

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a formal suit. The drawing includes a detailed first-person view of an elegant formal suit consisting of a black tailcoat, a cream-colored waistcoat, and matching trousers. The coat is double-breasted with a high collar. In the upper right corner, there is a detailed sketch of the suit from the back view. The focus is on fashion design with an emphasis on classic, timeless style. There is no portrayal of a head or limbs, directing attention solely to the clothing.
