Lady's Pelisse

Jean Peszel

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting depicting a structured garment, possibly a cloak or coat, with a smooth, satin-like texture and a slightly reflective surface. The garment closes at the front with visible lining in a lighter shade. The bonnet is dark, adorned with ribbons and a bow, featuring a quilted pattern, and the bonnet ties elegantly extend down to coordinate with the garment. The style of the artwork is reminiscent of traditional fashion illustrations from the 19th century.
