Cape

Eleanor Gausser

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a coat on a plain background. The drawing depicts a coat with a hood attached. The shape of the coat suggests it is draped and slightly gathered towards the top, forming soft pleats down its length. The hood is rounded, resembling an old-fashioned bonnet style, with simple line detailing. The composition is minimalistic, focusing on the simplicity and elegance of the garment's design, standing out against the plain backdrop.
