Man's Coat

Louis Maldarelli

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an overcoat design. The main subject of the image is a detailed and realistic illustration of a double-breasted brown overcoat. The coat features a plaid lining visible at the collar and a hint of the inner side, and it is accentuated with a red-brown collar. The buttons are neatly aligned, and the coat is rendered with attention to shadow and texture, indicating the material is likely wool or a similar fabric. To the right of the main coat is a simple line drawing that outlines the back view of the coat. The cream background complements the neutral tones of the garment.
