Baby Coat

Edith Towner

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a red plaid baby garment and an illustration of a baby. The image features a red and white plaid cape with a decorative edge, centrally displayed against a plain backdrop. Below the garment is a small depiction of an infant, wearing a matching red plaid top and lying in a playful position. The painting has a delicate and almost illustration-like quality to it. The overall composition is minimalistic and focuses on the pattern and texture of the fabric.
