Dress with Quilted Petticoat

Jean Peszel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an ornate historical dress. The full-length gown is displayed prominently against a plain, neutral background. The dress features an off-the-shoulder style with ruffled sleeves and a fitted bodice that flares into a voluminous skirt. The fabric is decorated with a floral pattern, incorporating vibrant colors like red, blue, and green on a white or cream-colored background. The illustration highlights delicate features such as lace at the neckline and subtle embroidery on the fabric.
