Cloak

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a maroon cape with fur-like trim, a decorative bow, and a lighter inner lining. The cape is open in the center, showing the neckline of the underlying ensemble. In the background, there is a faint sketch of an alternate design or a similar garment from a different perspective, outlined with less color detail. The focus is on the garment's silhouette, material contrast, and decorative elements.
