Dress

Florence Earl

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a purple dress. It features a classic purple gown with short, puffed sleeves, a fitted bodice with buttons down the center front, and a trim on the neckline. The skirt is voluminous with a decorative tier near the hem, cascading to the floor with a slight train. The shading and color create a soft, fabric-like appearance, emphasizing its flow and gracefulness.
