The robe is an excellent example of the complexity of the trade in Indian cotton during the eighteenth century. Its pattern reflects Indo-Europe decorative forms, which shows a synthesis of the European and Indian sensibilities. The robe not only includes Indian cotton components in the main body of the piece, but it is also edged with coordinating Dutch-woven trim of linen and wool at the neckline, front opening , and sleeves.

Artist: If any, who made it? How? Why?

The robe has no specific maker; however, the robe's fabric was drawn, painted, and dyed in India. Dutch traders transported the fabric to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the fabric was constructed to be a wentke, a robe worn by women in Hindeloopen, northern Netherlands. Wentke were typically worn for special occasions. In the mid-18th century, wentke were so common that businesses specialized in laundering the robes and reglazing them. The robe has a typical Indian floral pattern inspired by European "lace-patterned" silks. The fabric is in good condition and still has some of its glazed finish.
