Boy's Suit c. 1939

"Boy's Suit" (c. 1939) by Henry De Wolfe is a watercolor painting depicting a green suit with gold trim, detailed buttons, and white cuffs. The suit is paired with crimson breeches. The artwork is an example of De Wolfe's meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with fashion history. This piece is representative of the artist's work and the style of fashion illustration in the early 20th century. While the lack of a human model in the work might seem odd at first, the focus on the garment itself allows the viewer to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship.
