Shoulder Cape

Joseph L. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a circular garment pattern. The image shows a wedge-shaped piece of fabric with a small central hole near the top, resembling a cape or a collar. It is adorned with a repeating pattern of oval shapes on a light brown background, bordered by two dark and parallel outlines. On the right side of the drawing, there is a smaller sketch of a similar garment, drawn with fewer details and using a less pronounced line. The drawing focuses on geometric precision and simplicity.
