This is a painting of a full-length green gown with intricate floral and leaf motifs woven throughout the fabric. The gown has a fitted bodice with a wide V-neckline, a voluminous full-length skirt, and three-quarter length sleeves with turned-up cuffs revealing a red lining. The dress is displayed against a plain, light background. This is in the style of a traditional or historic fashion illustration.
