Slipper

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

The largest object in the image is a brown moccasin with fur lining and floral embroidery along the side. The color palette is predominantly neutral, with shades of brown and beige alongside lighter tones of cream in the fur. The moccasin is centrally placed in the image, and to its upper left, there are faint outline sketches of a top view of the shoe and a decorative pattern. The background is a light beige, adding a muted contrast to the objects.
