Infant's Boots c. 1937

"Infant's Boots" is a delicate watercolor painting by American artist Sara Garfinkel, executed circa 1937. The artwork depicts a single, knitted baby boot, rendered with meticulous detail. The artwork's minimalist composition emphasizes the simple beauty of the object, highlighting the artist's interest in everyday objects and domesticity. While small in size, the work evokes a sense of tenderness and nostalgia, perhaps reflecting a personal connection to childhood or family. Garfinkel's talent for capturing subtle textures is evident in the realistic portrayal of the knit fabric.
