Dress

Erwin Schwabe

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a long dress with short, puffed sleeves and an empire waistline, adorned with detailed embroidery. The color scheme consists of pale blue, silver, and dark blue in the embroidery patterns. The dress is centered in the image, with the skirt flowing down and fanned slightly outward at the bottom. A ribbon is tied below the bust, and the sleeves extend outward from the bodice.
