Woman's Slippers c. 1937

"Woman's Slippers" is a watercolor painting created by Edna C. Rex in 1937. The artwork depicts a single, light-colored slipper in the center of the composition against a cream-colored background. The subtle brushstrokes capture the worn texture of the leather, suggesting a sense of domesticity and everyday life. This painting is a testament to Rex's skill in portraying ordinary objects with both realism and sensitivity. The work is part of the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a government initiative that provided employment to artists during the Great Depression.
