T. G. ROBERTS (French, 1st half 20th century)Description
This postcard depicts a woman running and a man looking at her.She is wearing a dress divided in two parts by the use of different fabrics: the top is made of a frilled, white material while the main part of the dress is purple. The outfit is accessorized with elbow-length opera gloves, a purple hat decorated with two stiffened feathers on the side, and a black umbrella in her right hand. She is also holding a white hatbox on her left arm. The woman is raising her skirt to run, giving the viewer a glimpse of her petticoats, and attracting the attention of the man in a three-piece black and white suit with a top hat.
