EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Carriage Dress, created by American artist Eleanor Ruelos in approximately 1941, is a captivating fusion of the 18th and 20th centuries. The watercolor and graphite rendering on paperboard showcases a meticulously designed dress inspired by the mantua gowns of the 18th century, yet imbued with the elegance and charm of the 1930s and 1940s. The dress is adorned with intricate scalloped lace trim, adding a delicate and feminine touch to the overall design. The rich, vibrant colors and bold patterns of the fabric evoke the spirit of the forties, while the classic silhouette and high waistline harken back to the 18th century. The dress is further enhanced by the use of decorative textiles, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. Eleanor Ruelos, a renowned artist and designer, expertly captured the essence of both eras in this stunning piece. The Carriage Dress is a testament to the enduring influence of the past on fashion and the art of dressmaking. This period item, with its intricate details and beautiful design, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American apparel and the decorative arts. The Carriage Dress is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it serves as an important addition to the Index of American Design. This artwork is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the importance of preserving and celebrating our fashion history.
