Wedding Dress

Hans Mangelsdorf

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two dresses. The drawing features two elegant historic dresses. Both garments have soft folds and gentle curves in warm beige and soft pink colors. The dress on the left is detailed with a layered skirt, an elaborately decorated bodice with bows and lace trim, shown from a three-quarter view. The dress on the right has a graceful flow of fabric, presented from a side view. The artist has captured the textures and sheen of the fabric, creating a luxurious appearance.
