Shoe for a Child

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows three old, worn-out shoes. The shoes appear to be made of black leather. The left shoe is an oval shape with a strap across the top and a strap that goes around the heel. The left shoe is missing a piece from the top. The middle shoe is smaller and has a strap across the top. The right shoe is also an oval shape with straps wrapped around it. The right shoe appears to be torn and frayed. The background is light gray. The shoes are labeled as "Shoe for a Child" by an unknown artist.
