"Quaker Wedding Shoes," a c. 1936 watercolor by Gwyneth King (1855-1995), depicts a pair of white ankle boots. The boots are drawn in meticulous detail, with a scalloped edge and a series of buttons running up the side. This artwork showcases King's talent for capturing the elegance and simplicity of 19th-century fashion. The delicate rendering of the shoes evokes the formality of a Quaker wedding ceremony, highlighting the artist's keen observation of social customs.
