Child's Dress c. 1938

Raymond Manupelli’s "Child’s Dress" (c. 1938) is a detailed watercolor illustration of a plaid dress. The dress features a high collar, long sleeves, a button closure down the front, and a decorative rose at the waist. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail captures the texture of the fabric, and the use of watercolor creates a sense of vibrancy and lightness. The artwork is a testament to Manupelli’s skill in fashion illustration, and provides a glimpse into the style of children’s clothing in the late 1930s.
