Woman's Slipper

American 20th Century

National Gallery of Art

A thin, elongated shape with smooth contours and pointed ends is centered on the page. The abstract form features gently curving lines suggesting the outline of a leaf or a stylized feather. The simplicity and symmetry of the shape evoke the idea of a delicate, natural object amidst the vastness of the empty background.
