Dress

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a historical dress design. The image features a full-length dress with a fitted bodice, puffed long sleeves, and a high neckline adorned with lace. The fabric appears to be smooth and drapes elegantly to the ground. The right side of the drawing includes a smaller sketch that outlines the structure and silhouette of the dress. The dress is colored in a muted tone. The layout suggests an illustration for fashion or costume design purposes.
