This pair of pumps, crafted from two distinct types of leather, showcases the artistry of A. van Goethem, dating back to the 1930s. The white leather, accentuated by delicate stitching around the heel and toe, evokes a sense of elegance. The pumps, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, stand as a testament to the enduring appeal of fine footwear and provide a glimpse into the fashion trends of the era. This intriguing work is categorized as a still life, focusing on the details and textures of the shoes.
Comments
It was not unusual to have the same style of shoe made in different colours. This model was made in dark blue as well as white suede. The decoration, however, differs. The blue pair is trimmed with snakeskin, which also covers the heels; the white pair with patent leather. The date 1937 is written on the shoetrees of the white pumps.
