Tail Coat

Creighton Kay-Scott

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a formal coat. It depicts a button-up overcoat in a monochromatic color palette. The coat is detailed with sharp, clean lines to show its structure and design. Shading is used to represent the fabric texture. At the top right, there is a lighter sketch showing a side angle of the coat to indicate its dimensions and fit. The design features a high collar, broad shoulders, and a double-breasted button configuration commonly seen in formal wear.
