Child's Shoe 1935 - 1942

"Child's Shoe" is a watercolor on paper by Jean Peszel, completed between 1935 and 1942. The artwork, measuring 35.5 x 27.6 cm, depicts a single, blue leather child's boot with a series of pearl buttons along the shaft. The detailed rendering of the boot, including the subtle texture of the leather and the gleam of the buttons, showcases Peszel's meticulous attention to detail. The simple composition and realistic portrayal of the object create a sense of quiet intimacy and suggest a focus on the mundane aspects of daily life.
