Child's Coat

Dorothy Gernon

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a blue cape with a pink lining. The image displays a detailed illustration of a blue garment, presumably a cape or coat, with elaborate dark trim and a pink lining visible inside. The garment has rounded shoulders and flared sleeves, and is depicted in a realistic style. In addition to the main illustration, there is an outline drawing of the same garment in the top right corner. The background is a plain, muted beige color.
