Nightgown

Marie Alain

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a detailed, long garment with ornate lace-like detailing. The dress, displayed prominently in the center, features ruffles on the collar and sleeves. The color scheme includes shades of beige and grey. Below the dress are two separate illustrations: one showing a close-up of the shoulder and neckline with detailed lace and ruffle work, and the other featuring an abstract lace pattern with floral motifs. The objects are arranged in a vertical format, with the main dress at the top and the detail illustrations below.
