Edna C. Rex

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative blouse. The drawing depicts an intricately designed women's garment, possibly a bodice or blouse, featuring delicate lace and floral patterns. The blouse is of a light pink fabric adorned with colorful embroidered flowers scattered across it. It has an off-the-shoulder design with short sleeves made of sheer lace. A central bow and pleated folds enhance the decorative nature. The garment is rendered with fine attention to detail, highlighting the texture of the lace and the gentle folds of the fabric.
