Mannequin of a man wearing 1750s fashion - jacket, waistcoat and breeches made of woven silk brocade, all same fabric, unembellished. The brocade is cream and some red color, the source say cerise but it looks not vibrant to me. The abstract motif is symmetrical and consists of waves of some kind and flowers. There’s also a hat, ribbons on hair, shoes, walking stick and an sword of some kind (I’m sorry I don’t have much knowledge on swords!)
