Dress

Julie C. Brush

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a plaid dress with a full, pleated skirt and wide bell sleeves. The dress features a pattern of large, checkered squares in muted tones of beige, brown, and pale blue. The bodice is fitted, adorned with a delicate lace collar. The sleeves have tiered brown ruffles around the elbows. The dress appears to be floating, turned slightly to the right. It is surrounded by blank beige paper.
