Wedding Dress

Mary Fitzgerald

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a green dress. The artwork depicts an elegant, long green dress with a full skirt that spreads out toward the bottom. The bodice features a fitted design with decorative detailing running vertically along the front, as well as horizontally across the shoulders and the sleeves. The sleeves are long and also appear to have decorative elements that complement the bodice design. The absence of a mannequin or person wearing the dress draws attention to the garment itself, emphasizing its craftsmanship and design.
