Dress

Ray Price

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a high-necked green dress. The dress has a fitted bodice, a high waistline, long sleeves with ruffled cuffs, and a wide shawl-like collar in cream, with lines of embroidery. There is also a matching green belt with a round buckle. The main painting of the dress is slightly to the left of center, and it depicts the dress standing, with no one wearing it. On the right, there is a smaller line drawing illustrating the back of the dress. The background is blank, off-white paper.
