Girl's Wrapper

James Vail

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a striped garment design. The image shows two views of the same piece of clothing, which is a flowing garment with long sleeves and a high, ruffled neckline. The design is showcased in red and white vertical stripes. The drawing presents both the front and back views of the garment, highlighting its loose-fitting silhouette. Each aspect of the outfit is meticulously rendered to show the gathers and drapes of the fabric, with attention to how the striped pattern accentuates the curves of the design.
