Wedding Dress

Linnet Alward

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an elegant dress featuring a full-length gown with puffed sleeves, an off-the-shoulder neckline, and a slight train at the back. The fabric is adorned with a delicate floral pattern, and shading techniques are used to convey the volume and flow of the fabric. The dress is rendered in soft, sepia-toned lines.
