This is a drawing of a long, flowing gown with detailed embroidery.

The central panel of the gown is adorned with vertical tucks or pleats. A secondary smaller sketch in the top right corner shows a rear view of the gown. The overall composition suggests a focus on the craftsmanship in the creation of elegant, period clothing.
