Shoes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Vintage high-heeled shoes with a floral pattern. The shoes are pointed-toe, with a low to moderate heel. The heel is dark brown and made of wood or plastic. The upper part of the shoe is cream-colored fabric with a floral design featuring yellow and dark-colored flowers, green leaves, and gold accents. The shoes have a fold-over top section. The background of the image is a light gray color. The shoes are positioned at an angle, with the toes pointing to the left side of the image. They are placed on a flat surface, with a slight shadow visible underneath.
