Dress c. 1935

Julie C. Brush's "Dress" is a detailed watercolor painting of a long-sleeved, ankle-length dress with a floral print design, dating back to c. 1935. The dress is depicted on a mannequin and features a small sample of the fabric with stylized birds on the left side of the image, along with an outline sketch of the dress' back. The artist's meticulous detail of the fabric pattern in the dress and the sample highlights the importance of fashion design in her artistic expression. Brush was active from 1855 to 1995, suggesting she documented fashion trends throughout a significant portion of the 20th century.
