"Pair of Evening Shoes" is a work by A. van Goethem, dating back to the early 1950s. The artwork depicts a pair of black satin evening shoes with delicate straps and a modest heel, a symbol of elegance and sophistication in the mid-20th century. The shoes are displayed on a simple background, highlighting their intricate details and craftsmanship. This object, now held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the fashion and footwear of the era.
Comments
For evening events women wore slingback-style shoes. They were often covered with fabric rather than leather. This pair of shoes completed an ensemble consisting of a cocktail dress with a tie belt and a large folding fan. The delicate straps once tore out at the instep. Because textile is easier to sew back together than leather, only the upper layer, made of silk fabric, was repaired.
