Woman's Dress

Bessie Forman

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a dress. The artwork shows a detailed depiction of an elegant, long-sleeved, floor-length dress, characterized by its dark color and intricately tailored design. The dress features a fitted bodice with long, puffed sleeves that accentuate the shoulders. Its neckline is decorated with geometric patterns, arranged in a series of leaf-shaped details. The dress's skirt is subtly flared, with a decorative wavy pattern encircling the lower portion.
