Shoes 1888

Vincent van Gogh's "Shoes" (1888) depicts a pair of worn-out boots on a simple, patterned floor. The heavy impasto and swirling brushstrokes are typical of van Gogh's Post-Impressionist style, conveying a sense of texture and movement. The subject matter, a humble pair of shoes, evokes a sense of human presence and the passage of time, reflecting van Gogh's interest in everyday life and the working class.
