Nightgown

Paul Ward

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a long, white garment with button detailing down the front and lace accents around the yoke and cuffs. The color palette is predominantly white and light gray, with subtle shading to give depth and texture to the lace and fabric. The garment is centrally positioned, taking up most of the vertical space, with the top of the dress starting near the top of the image and the hem reaching the bottom. The lace detail is around the shoulders and neckline, with the sleeves extending outward and slightly down along the sides of the dress.
