Evening Shoes 1926

Émilie Charmy's "Evening Shoes" is a 1926 oil painting depicting a pair of slippers resting on a vibrant red cloth. The artist, known for her still lifes, utilizes thick brushstrokes to create a sense of texture, particularly in the shoes. The warm hues of the slippers, rendered in a palette of yellow and brown, contrast with the rich red of the background, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. This seemingly simple still life captures the everyday with a touch of intimacy and poetic observation, reflecting the artist's focus on capturing the essence of everyday objects.
