Illustration of a model, shown from behind, wearing a flared bolero jacket over a strapless gown with a fitted black velvet bodice and a full satin skirt (both the skirt and bolero are in the same satin with woven flower and leaf details). The model is also wearing a large cartwheel hat, also of black velvet. All are by Christian Dior. The model is pictured in an interior space that features a fireplace mantle and large mirror (right) and a marble topped claw-foot table set with a large vase of flowers. A gentleman carrying a cup of tea faces the model and is painted in grisaille. Signed "Eric/Paris/48" by artist.
