Petticoat

Lillian Causey

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a lace garment. The drawing shows an intricately designed skirt with a detailed lace pattern. The transparent look of the fabric is suggested through line and shading, creating depth and texture. The skirt is wide with a gentle drape. There is an inset at the bottom right that provides a detailed view of the lace pattern, which consists of floral and geometric motifs.
