Dress

Marie Alain

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a historical dress. The drawing features an elaborate dress with soft pink, light green, and brown hues. The bodice and sleeves have detailing and bows at the wrists. There is an intricate play of fabrics, with the dress falling into a train at the back. Additionally, there is a faint sketch in the upper right corner. The shading and patterning hint at a focus on fabric texture and the dress's flow.
