A Pair of shoes

Oil painting of a pair of worn, dark leather shoes, one laced boot in front and a second shoe behind it, resting on a pale yellow-ochre surface against a dark background. Loose, visible brushwork gives the leather texture and the scuffed, cracked surfaces a rough, textured look, and a faint signature appears at upper left.

Pintura al óleo de un par de zapatos de cuero gastados y oscuros: una bota con cordones al frente y otro zapato detrás, sobre una superficie ocre amarillenta contra un fondo oscuro. Las pinceladas sueltas y visibles dan textura al cuero y a las superficies rayadas y agrietadas, y una firma tenue aparece en la esquina superior izquierda.
