Dress

Francis Law Durand

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a Victorian-style dress. The dress features a fitted bodice with a high neckline adorned with lace detailing. Long sleeves end in decorated cuffs, and the full skirt falls to the floor with blue stripe patterns providing contrast to pinstripes on the fabric. The design emphasizes precision and a balance between line and color, with a palette dominated by white and blue hues characteristic of the era.
