Girl's Dress

Nancy Crimi

National Gallery of Art

This is a dress design sketch. The image features a central large drawing of a dress with puffed sleeves and a full-length skirt, accompanied by three smaller sketches of the same dress from different angles. The main drawing is detailed with shading in a tan color, highlighting the design of the bodice, waist, and multiple layers of the skirt. The small surrounding sketches provide front, back, and side views of the dress in outline or minimal shading, focusing on the structure and pattern lines. The drawing emphasizes the voluminous sleeves and high waist characteristic of 19th-century designs.
