Shoe, Herring, and Book

George Loring Brown

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a dark-colored shoe on top of a stack of books. One of the books is partially covered in a multicolored, textured fabric with earthy tones of brown, beige, green, blue, and black. The shoe is placed horizontally on the books, angled towards the upper right corner. The books are aligned parallel to the bottom edge of the frame, with the fabric extending from beneath the shoe down towards the bottom edge.
