Dress

Joseph L. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing presents a design of a Victorian-style dress, featuring a tightly fitted bodice, short sleeves, and a long skirt that drapes elegantly down to the floor. The main dress is depicted in color, showcasing a striped pattern with light green hues, accented by darker green trim and detailing along the seams and edges, including delicate bows and ruffles. To the right, there is a line sketch of the dress, showing its structure and flow without color. The dress design is set against a plain, neutral background.
