EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1937 costume design by American artist Joseph L. Boyd, titled "Visiting," showcases the elegant and intricate fashion trends of the late 1930s and early 1940s. The graphite and colored pencil drawing on paper depicts a floral-patterned gown, with a fitted bodice and a voluminous, A-line skirt, adorned with delicate trim. The dress is rendered in rich, deep shades of purple and black, with a vibrant floral design that adds a touch of whimsy and charm. The design reflects the functional yet decorative aspects of women's wear during this period, as well as the influence of the Index of American Design on American art and fashion. The dress would have been suitable for a formal occasion, such as a visit to the country estate of a friend or family member. The intricate details and thoughtful design elements demonstrate Boyd's skill as an artist and his keen understanding of the fashion trends of the time. This beautiful costume design is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring influence of the 1930s and 1940s on fashion. It is currently housed in the Decorative Arts and Sculpture Collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
