Black Leather Slipper

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

A detailed drawing of a ballet flat shoe is centred on the page. A sketched outline of the shoe's sole is in the top right corner. The main shoe drawing is primarily in dark gray and black shades with lighter hues for the inner lining, portraying texture and depth. The shoe is slightly left of center, and the outline is directly above it on the right side. The background is light cream.
