Man's Suit

Nancy Crimi

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an 18th-century men's ensemble. The image features a burgundy coat with a high collar and large cuffs over a white waistcoat and ruffled shirt, paired with knee-length breeches. The attire showcases the typical style of formal men's fashion from the period, focusing on the fabric texture and stitching of the coat. An outline sketch of the coat is included in the upper right corner, showing the back view, highlighting the traditional cut and seam lines. The drawing uses color and shading to depict the richness of the fabric, creating a visually detailed representation.
