Slipper c. 1936

"Slipper," a watercolor by Melita Hofmann, is a detailed rendering of a simple brown slipper. Created around 1936, the artwork showcases Hofmann’s meticulous attention to detail, capturing the texture of the leather and the delicate lacing. The presence of a faint outline of two additional slippers in the top left corner adds a touch of subtle narrative to the composition. Hofmann's works are known for their focus on everyday objects, elevating the mundane to a state of artistic beauty. This watercolor is a testament to her ability to imbue even the simplest subjects with a sense of elegance and grace.
