Man's Suit

Henry De Wolfe

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a headless suit. The painting depicts a three-piece suit consisting of a jacket, waistcoat, and trousers, all rendered in a delicate, almost translucent fabric. The shirt beneath the jacket has ruffled patterns. The suit is presented without a head, and the exposed neck has a vibrant, intricate marbled pattern. The background is neutral.
