T. G. ROBERTS (French, 1st half 20th century)Description
This postcard depicts a woman turning her back to the viewer and a man looking at her.She is wearing a dress divided in two parts by the use of different fabrics: the top part if made of a white frilly fabric, and the main part of the dress is orange. In the back of the skirt is a slit with pleated fabric, crossed over by at least two buttoned strips of the same fabric. This construction allows to give a puffy, more rounded shape to the dress, before falling straight on the ankles. The outfit is accessorized with elbow-length black gloves and a black umbrella, while she is holding a white hatbox on her right arm. She is holding her skirt to walk, giving the viewer and the man, dressed in black and white with a top hat, a glimpse of her petticoats and ankles.
