EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paper rendering by Lucien Verbeke captures the essence of women's fashion in the late 1930s, showcasing a stunning red velvet dress with lace trim. The full-length image offers a front and back view of the garment, revealing its intricate details and beautiful textures. The dress features a gathered bodice, a narrow waistline, and a full, voluminous skirt with a train. The long sleeves are adorned with delicate lace, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. The dress is a prime example of the fashion trends of the era, which saw a shift away from the heavy, restrictive designs of the 1920s and 1930s towards more functional and comfortable clothing. The use of color, particularly bold red, was also becoming more popular in women's fashion during this time. Verbeke's masterful use of color and detail is evident in the side view of the dress, which showcases the draping of the fabric and the placement of the lace trim. The dress is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the period, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of American fashion during the 1930s and 1940s. This beautiful work of art is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s and 1940s to document American decorative arts and folk art. Today, it is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
