Slipper c. 1936

Melita Hofmann's 1936 drawing "Slipper" depicts a single black shoe with a ribbon tied around it. The shoe is positioned on its side, with the laces trailing off to the right. The artist also included a faint outline of two slippers in the upper left of the drawing, which are presumably the source of inspiration for the work. The artist used simple lines and shading to capture the form of the shoe in a realistic yet stylized manner, highlighting the elegance and simplicity of footwear from that era.
