The image displays a detailed drawing of an intricately designed garment, likely a blouse or top, with puffed sleeves and decorative edging. The fabric appears light, and the design includes floral embroidery on the front panel. The color palette is a soft, muted cream or beige with subtle purple and grayish hues outlining the edges and folds, adding depth to the piece. The viewer is positioned from a top-down perspective, the top's neckline is centered in the middle of the image, and the folded sleeves extend towards the edges. The embroidery detail is at the center, with the fabric neatly folded at the bottom. The artist's signature, "Eugène Croc," is visible in the lower right corner.
