Slippers c. 1940

"Slippers" is a graphite drawing on paper by Melita Hofmann, a German artist who was active in the early 20th century. Hofmann's meticulous and detailed style is evident in her depiction of three pairs of slippers, each rendered with remarkable realism. The artwork's focus on everyday objects and its precise execution are characteristic of the Realist style of drawing, a genre that emphasizes the accurate representation of the observable world. The piece offers a glimpse into the footwear trends of the early 20th century and demonstrates Hofmann's keen eye for detail.
