Dress

Charles Criswell

National Gallery of Art

The painting shows a period dress in soft pink and cream shades, with a fitted bodice embellished with floral embroidery, puffed sleeves with frilled edges, and a full skirt with ornate patterns. The color palette is gentle and refined, typical of early modern fashion illustrations.
