Shoes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray suede shoes with a broken area near the top on both. The right shoe, on the left side of the image, points to the left and has a lace with both ends tied. The left shoe on the right side points to the right and has a bow on the right side. Both shoes have white objects inside to maintain their shape. The soles are black with white thread around the edges. The shoes have a low heel. The background is a gradient from light to dark gray. "Shoes" by Felix Nadar.
