Dress

Ray Price

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a Victorian-style dress, primarily in shades of pink with black lace trimmings. The garment has a fitted bodice and a full skirt with defined panels and layers to enhance volume and elegance. To the right is a smaller, simplified sketch of the same dress design in black ink, showing a more technical view of the structure. The artwork showcases both artistic and practical sides of fashion illustration.
