Dress

Jessie M. Benge

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress. The image depicts a historic dress design with a high empire waistline, intricate patterns, and decorative elements, possibly in gold or mustard yellow tones. The sleeves are puffed, and the dress flares to the floor. On the right, there is a smaller, less detailed sketch showing the back view of the dress.
