Corset

Sylvia Dezon

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a corset design. The drawing shows a detailed illustration of a corset with intricate lace patterns and a structure that suggests it is meant to shape the body. The main corset in the foreground is on a mannequin-like form, highlighting its off-shoulder sleeves and floral lace embellishments along the neckline and seams. To the left, there is a smaller sketch of the corset showing a back view, detailing the lacing and how it cinches the waist. The line work is delicate and precise, showcasing the garment's ornate design and craftsmanship.
