EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Petticoat" by American artist Edith Towner, dates back to the 1930s, showcasing a beautiful embroidered petticoat against a pristine white background. The petticoat, a popular undergarment during the 1930s and 1940s, is depicted in intricate detail, with its layers of delicate embroidery, needlework, and colorful decorative elements. The use of watercolor, graphite pen, and ink, and gouache on paper adds to the textured and vibrant appearance of the artwork. The petticoat, a quintessential piece of ladieswear from the era, was often worn beneath dresses to add volume and shape. This period item is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating clothing during this time. The 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s, was a significant era for American fashion, with an emphasis on elegance and sophistication. This artwork is a cherished addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., which holds an extensive index of American design. The gallery, a renowned cultural institution, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the heritage and artistic achievements of the United States. The "Petticoat" by Edith Towner is a stunning example of the decorative arts and design of the period, and a must-see for anyone interested in American art and fashion history.
