Tail Coat

Creighton Kay-Scott

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a double-breasted coat. The drawing depicts a sharply tailored, double-breasted coat with a pointed lapel collar and a contrasting texture. The buttons are prominently featured, with each side having a symmetrical arrangement of buttons. The coat appears to have a tailored fit, emphasizing the waist before flaring out slightly at the bottom. There is an inset within the drawing that provides a sketch outline of the coat viewed from the back. The overall tone of the drawing is one of precision and elegance, emphasizing the structured fashion style of the coat.
