Dress

Mary E. Humes

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a dress design. The main focus of the image is a full-length dress with long sleeves and a fitted bodice that flares into a long skirt. The dress features a V-shaped neckline connected to a detailed bodice. To the right of the main drawing, there are two smaller sketches. One shows the dress from the front and back view with a focus on the neckline. The other two smaller sketches illustrate a detailed collar and a close-up view of a V-shaped detail. The drawing is done with delicate lines and a hint of shading to depict the texture of the fabric. The color palette suggests a subtle, elegant design.
