Cape

Catherine Fowler

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a maroon cape with a high collar. The drawing shows a detailed depiction of a long, maroon-colored cape with vertical pleats running down from the shoulders. It features a dark fringe along the upper part of the cape, giving it a textured look. The cape is open in the front, revealing a lighter lining. To the right of the main illustration is a faint sketch suggesting an alternate view of the same garment. The background is a light, neutral color, which highlights the detailed work of the cape. The signature "Kæ Fowler" appears at the bottom right corner.
