Shirt

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a garment. The image features a line drawing of a long-sleeved shirt or tunic, with pleated sleeves and a simple collar. The garment is depicted with a front hanging loosely, and cuffs likely fasten with buttons. A smaller sketch beside the main illustration shows the garment from the back, as well as the side, indicating how the sleeve and shoulder might fit. The style is minimalistic and precise, focusing on the design and construction of the clothing item.
