Waistcoat

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of a waistcoat. It features a detailed sketch of a sleeveless waistcoat with a high collar and a row of buttons down the front. A ruffled shirt collar is visible under the waistcoat. Long flowing sleeves are attached to the waistcoat, and there is a smaller back view showing the laced back detail. The drawing emphasizes the tailoring and structure of the garment with fine lines and minimal shading, giving it a three-dimensional quality.
