Dress

Roberta Spicer

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress. The drawing features a long-sleeved, empire waist dress in a muted shade of green. The dress lacks any ornate details and showcases a simple, flowing silhouette with gentle gathers at the bustline. The neckline is modestly rounded. There is also a smaller sketch of the back view of the dress in the top right corner, outlining the construction and structure. The design suggests an emphasis on elegance and ease of wear.
