Nightgown c. 1940

Marie Alain's "Nightgown" (c. 1940) is a detailed pencil drawing of a baby's nightgown. The design features delicate lace trim and ruffled sleeves. The artist, known for her fashion illustrations, presents the garment in a simple, yet elegant manner. The drawing is divided into three sections: a full view of the gown and two close-up details of the collar and lace trim. This meticulous approach allows viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and intricate details of the design. The drawing is a testament to the lasting beauty of traditional baby clothing and a valuable record of fashion in the early 20th century.
