Man's Coat

Henry De Wolfe

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a brown tailcoat. The drawing depicts a formal garment with a long, fitted design and two tails at the back. The coat is double-breasted with buttons and a wide lapel. The sleeves are long, ending in buttoned cuffs. The fabric's texture and structure are emphasized, suggesting a material that holds shape well. In the background, there is a sketch from a rear view, offering another perspective on the coat's design.
