Child's Dress and Cape

Bessie Forman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a green checkered dress with short, puffed sleeves and a round neckline. There is a matching bolero jacket to the left of the dress, partially shaded and detailed. In the top right corner, there is a faint outline of the same dress. The color palette is primarily different shades of green with hints of white and grey in the detailing. The green dress is centered in the image, with the bolero jacket to the left, slightly overlapping the dress. The outlined dress is positioned above and to the right of the main dress.
