Shoe

Mae Szilvasy

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a single shoe. The image features a detailed side view of a mid-heel shoe, depicted in shades of black that suggest leather material. The shoe has a classic and elegant design with a slightly rounded point at the toe and subtle stitching details along the upper part. Above the main illustration, there are two smaller line-drawing sketches offering top and bottom views of the shoe. The background is a simple, unblemished cream color.
