Artist, American, active c. 1935

This is a drawing of a dress design. The gown has a fitted bodice with long, structured sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline. The full skirt extends from the waist, flowing down with ample fabric. The dress is accompanied by a matching decorative bonnet atop a hairstyle. The intricate floral detailing is meticulously rendered, and there is a smaller rendition of the same dress in the background. The piece is lightly colored, with soft, warm tones.
