Coat Suit

Ray Price

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a vintage dress design. The image features a rendering of a long dress with a fitted jacket-like bodice, long sleeves, and a full-length skirt with a slight flare at the hem. The dress is depicted in a sepia-toned color, with shading that accentuates the texture and folds of the fabric. The bodice is tailored with buttons and a structured lapel. In the top right corner, there is a smaller line drawing of the dress viewed from the back, showing additional garment details such as pleats and possibly a sash or belt feature. The overall style suggests an early 20th-century fashion illustration, emphasizing the refinement and elegance of the design.
