Baby Shoe c. 1937

"Baby Shoe" is a watercolor painting by Ada V. May, a prominent American artist, created around 1937. The artwork depicts a single baby shoe, rendered in meticulous detail, highlighting May's skill in capturing both the delicate texture of the fabric and the worn leather. This work likely falls within the genre of still life, a popular subject for American artists of the period. The simplicity of the subject matter and the artist's precise execution make "Baby Shoe" a charming and evocative piece, suggesting themes of childhood, innocence, and the passing of time.
