Boy's Suit

Jessie M. Benge

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a vintage-style outfit. The full-length outfit consists of a long-sleeved coat with a double row of buttons on the chest and matching pants. The coat has epaulettes on the shoulders and features large, rounded sleeves. The pants are wide and appear loose-fitting. The color palette is muted, primarily utilizing shades of brown. The fabric appears to be lightweight. In the top right corner, there's a smaller, simplified sketch of the back view of the outfit, highlighting the tailcoat feature and button placements.
