Boys's Dress

Esther Hansen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a child's dress design. The image features a child's dress with a matching jacket in a light brown color, decorated with white leaf patterns along the edges and seams. The dress has a fitted bodice with a full skirt, embellished with a leafy motif that accentuates the hem and central vertical line. The jacket mirrors this pattern to create a cohesive look. In the background, there is a faint sketch of the dress worn without the jacket, showing its short sleeves and simple style.
