Slipper

Melita Hofmann

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of a single ballet shoe with long, flowing ribbons extending from it. The color palette consists of rich browns and a hint of beige inside the shoe. There are two sketched outlines of similar shoes above and to the left of the shoe. The shoe is horizontally oriented with the ribbons partly draped across its surface.
