Child's Dress

Jean Peszel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two lace dresses on mannequins. The drawing shows a detailed depiction of a delicate, feminine dress with intricate lace patterns covering the bodice, sleeves, and hem of the skirt and pantaloons. The lace has a floral design and the dress is off-the-shoulder with lace trims along the neckline and arms. Beside this dress, a smaller, simplified version is displayed. The drawing is on a muted, neutral background, emphasizing the lace details.
