Dress 1935 - 1942

"Dress" (1935-1942) by Nancy Crimi (1855-1995) is a detailed pencil drawing on paper, depicting a woman's dress. The drawing is rendered in a realistic style, with the dress's yellow fabric rendered with meticulous detail. The artist emphasizes the dress's texture through the use of shading and cross-hatching, while a blue patterned skirt adds a pop of color. This drawing is a testament to Crimi’s skill as a draftsperson and her appreciation for the beauty of everyday objects.
