This is a painting of a detailed garment on a plain background. The painting features a vibrant blue coat adorned with intricate floral patterns and long, flowing sleeves with ruffled cuffs. Inside the coat is a light pink inner dress with a high collar and delicate details, gathered at the waist by an orange sash. The coat features a pattern of colorful flowers in shades of red, pink, and white, complemented by green leaves. The painting focuses solely on the representation of this elegant ensemble, presented as if floating without a figure to wear it.
