Douglas Campbell

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of three representations of a Victorian dress. The image shows detailed sketches of a full-length Victorian dress from three different angles. The central figure displays a close-up view, showcasing the dress's intricate folds, puffed sleeves, and flowing train with ruffled edges. To the left, there is a side view highlighting more of the cascading fabric and the gathered details at the back, while the far-right sketch is a rear view, emphasizing the bustle and layered design. Each rendition captures the texture and elaborate structure of 19th-century fashion.
