Slipper

Dorothy Gernon

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a single shoe with additional sketches. The main focus of the drawing is a shoe featuring a pointed toe and a low, angled heel, covered in a plaid pattern of blue, yellow, and white stripes. The shoe appears to be a flat or a low-heeled design. To the left of the main shoe illustration, there are two outline sketches of similar shoes, one showcasing the top-down view and the other highlighting a side profile. The background is plain.
