Evelyn Bailey

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a garment design with decorative patterns. The image features an outline of a garment with simple geometric shapes, including short sleeves and a broad, triangular skirt. The neckline and sleeve edges are adorned with small geometrical motifs. Below the garment outline, two horizontal bands display additional decorative patterns, one showing triangular forms and the other a more intricate motif, possibly inspired by traditional designs. The drawing focuses on the simplicity and elegance of the design elements without color.
