Quaker Cape c. 1937

"Quaker Cape" is a fashion illustration by Marie Alain, dating back to 1937. The artwork, executed in watercolor and pencil, depicts a garment, potentially a cape, in a rich, brown hue with a single pink bow. The illustration is likely a design for a garment, showcasing the fabric texture and style of the cape. The presence of a fabric sample and a smaller sketch of the cape in the corner further reinforces its purpose as a design study. Alain, an artist known for her fashion illustrations, demonstrates her meticulous attention to detail in this work. The image is an excellent example of fashion illustration from the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the trends and artistic techniques of the era.
