Child's Trousers and Top

Esther Peck

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a costume design featuring a formal ensemble. The main figure is clad in a vivid blue blouse with a detailed pattern, complete with a high, ruffled neckline and contrasting white breeches. The blouse is detailed with a precise pattern of swirls and embellishments. In the upper right corner of the image, there is a smaller, fainter sketch of the same outfit. The drawing appears to be a preparatory work for theatrical or performance purposes, emphasizing both the design and the intricate details of the garment.
