Dress 1935 - 1942

"Dress" is a watercolor painting by Edna C. Rex, created between 1935 and 1942. The artwork, measuring 35.5 x 27.3 cm, depicts a simple yellow dress with thin straps, rendered in a minimalist style. The dress hangs on a white background, highlighting its form and the artist's masterful use of watercolor to achieve a soft, delicate effect. Rex, a prolific artist active from 1855 to 1995, was known for her still lifes and portraits. This piece exemplifies her attention to detail and understanding of light and shadow. The artwork is an example of representational art and is likely a study for a larger composition.
