Waistcoat c. 1937

Ann Gene Buckley's "Waistcoat" is a c. 1937 watercolor depicting a finely detailed men's vest. The intricate design features a delicate floral pattern throughout the garment, accented by colorful buttonholes and embroidered pockets. Buckley, who was born in 1855 and lived until 1995, was likely inspired by the intricate details of men's fashion from the 18th or 19th centuries. The artwork's precise rendering and attention to detail make it a beautiful example of a fashion illustration.
