Mary E. Humes's "Dress" (1935 - 1942) is a design for a dress fabric featuring a delicate floral pattern of stylized flowers and leaves on a soft cream background. The artist, known for her textile designs, used a subtle watercolor palette and precise lines to create a whimsical and feminine print. The drawing, measuring 28.9 x 22.9 cm, exemplifies Humes's talent for capturing the beauty of nature in a way that is both elegant and practical.
