Suit

Charles Criswell

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a formal 18th-century suit displayed without a person wearing it. The clothing consists of a blue long tailcoat with double-breasted buttons, a cream-colored waistcoat underneath, and matching cream-colored breeches. The garment's design reflects the fashion of the time with a focus on the structure and folds.
