Philip Zilcken's "Schoen, sandalen en een fantasiefiguur" is a black and white etching on paper, depicting a pair of sandals, a shoe, and a fantastical figure. The work, dating from 1867-1890, showcases Zilcken's distinctive style, combining a realistic depiction of everyday objects with imaginative and abstract elements. The fantastical figure, resembling a swirling plant or creature, contrasts with the sharp lines of the shoes, suggesting an exploration of the relationship between the real and the imaginary.
