Pair of Wooden Shoes (Sabots) [left]

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a pair of wooden clogs with engraved designs on the top. One clog has an engraving of a small animal and red berries, while the other displays two figures draped in black and red clothing. The clogs are crafted from wood with a brown color and polished surface. The design reflects a traditional style with slightly pointed toes and a sturdy, rounded structure. The carvings add artistic detail to the design, connecting traditional footwear to decorative art.
