Boy's Poplin Suit

Daniel Marshack

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a plaid outfit. The painting depicts a suit consisting of a jacket and pleated skirt, displayed against a neutral background. The fabric of the outfit is plaid, featuring a pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines in varying colors including brown, blue, and red. The jacket has long sleeves and is buttoned at the front with brown buttons that match the vest beneath it. The vest and skirt appear to be made from the same plaid material, giving a harmonious appearance to the ensemble. The painting emphasizes the texture and detailed pattern of the fabric. This is in the style of a formal, traditional fashion illustration.
