This is a detailed painting of the front view of a short cape with intricate black patterns on a white background and a dark border along the front opening and the hem. The cape is draped over the sketched outline of a headless mannequin wearing a plain dress. To the right, there is a sketch showing a rear view of the cape without color. The background of the painting is plain, off-white paper.
