Costumes Parisiens 154: Robe pour les vacances de Pâques
Illustration with a design for an Easter holiday dress, part of the 68th issue of the "Journal des dames et des modes", published in Paris on April 10, 1914. The illustration features a woman wearing an ankle-length, pink dress, draped around the hips, under a short jacket of pink color with scattered petals of a darker shade of pink, decorated with hanging red tassels on the sides. She wears a pink hat to cover her hair, and red strap shoes. She stands in front of a gray wall with an open window, on a cobblestone ground, holding a green plate with white grains that she uses to feed a hen and a group of chicken that are standing on the ground next to her. Behind her, next to the wall, stand two small, yellow pots with long, thin, elongated branches with small green leaves and small, red, cherry-like fruits.
