The artwork titled “Dress,” created circa 1901 by Mikhail Vrubel in the Russian Federation, is a pencil and paper composition associated with the Realism art movement. This piece is categorized as a still life work.
In the artwork, Vrubel masterfully employs pencil shading and intricate detailing to depict the texture and folds of an ornate garment. The dress is illustrated in a manner that emphasizes its delicate fabric and elaborate decorations. The artist’s use of light and shadow effectively conveys the volume and luxurious nature of the dress, making it the focal point of the composition. The absence of a wearer and the careful arrangement of the dress suggest a sense of stillness and reflection, characteristic of the still life genre.
