Dress

Joseph L. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a decorative dress. The image shows an elaborate long dress with a floral pattern and rich red accents. The main fabric of the dress appears to be a creamy beige color adorned with small, delicate, pink-hued flowers. The front of the dress features rich red triangular sections. It is accompanied by detailed sleeves with grayish-blue trim. Next to the colored depiction of the dress, there is a less detailed, monochrome line drawing that echoes the same dress design.
