Afternoon Dress

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a vintage red dress. It features an elegant full-length dress with a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt that sweeps to the ground. The garment is detailed with ornate black lace trim around the collar, sleeves, and bodice line. The sleeves have ruffled lace extensions at the forearm, and buttons adorn the front. The dress is rendered in vibrant red hues with subtle gradations of color, adding depth to the painting.
