This is a drawing of a historical three-piece suit typical of the 18th century. The coat is long with visible buttons. Beneath it, a dark blue waistcoat is shown over a white shirt with a high collar. The trousers are brown and of a different texture than the coat. There is also a faint line drawing to the right of the colored depiction, suggesting a sketch or draft of the costume design. The presentation is detailed with attention to fabric texture and flow.
