Tail Coat

Virginia Berge

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a formal coat with a double-breasted design in the center. The coat is primarily a muted, dark color. In the upper right corner, there is a smaller sketched outline of the same coat viewed from the back. The colors in the image are predominantly shades of black and grey set against a neutral, off-white background. The coat is centrally positioned, with its shoulders and sleeves extending outward and the sketch in the upper right providing a secondary focus.
