Slipper c. 1940

"Slipper," a watercolor on paper by Dorothy Gernon, circa 1940, depicts a single, pointed-toe woman's shoe with a low heel. The shoe is covered in a plaid fabric, with a blue, yellow, and brown color scheme. The artist's detailed rendering captures the texture of the fabric and the delicate form of the slipper, highlighting the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The simplicity of the composition and the focus on the shoe's design create a sense of elegance and sophistication. Gernon's artwork reflects the era's fascination with fashion and its influence on daily life.
