Dress

Jean Peszel

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The drawing features an elegant 19th-century style gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The dress is depicted with off-the-shoulder sleeves adorned with ruffles and a decorative band. The fabric shows a delicate pattern, emphasizing the texture and flow of the material. There is also a smaller outline drawing of the dress in the upper right corner, suggesting a back view of the design. The lines and shading in the drawing convey the volume and drape of the skirt, and attention to detail in the sleeves highlights the style and craftsmanship of the piece.
