Baby Coat

Ray Price

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a child's dress. The drawing shows a dress laid flat against a plain background, with attention to detail in its design including a peter pan collar, long sleeves, buttons down the front, and decorative bands at the hem. The dress seems to be made from a light, flowing material, as indicated by the soft lines. The focus is on the garment's symmetry, highlighted by the vertical alignment of buttons and pleats, which are illustrated to convey elegance and simplicity.
