Dress

Frederick Jackson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress with a floral striped pattern. The dress features a full skirt and a fitted bodice, with alternating stripes of colorful floral patterns interspersed with white spaces. The garment has long sleeves and a high neckline. To the right of the colored drawing, there is an outlined sketch of the back of the dress. The use of vibrant colors for the stripes contrasts with the more muted tones of the paper background. This illustration likely serves as a design or fashion sketch.
