Three Pairs of Shoes

An oil painting of worn leather boots and shoes heaped on a pale cloth against a loosely brushed grey background. Dark laces, cracked soles and rough, expressive brushstrokes give the footwear a weathered, lived-in presence in the dim, earthy setting.

Español: Tres pares de zapatos

Una pintura al óleo de botas y zapatos de cuero desgastados, amontonados sobre un paño claro frente a un fondo gris de pinceladas sueltas. Los cordones oscuros, las suelas agrietadas y las pinceladas rugosas les dan una presencia envejecida y cotidiana.

Português: Três pares de sapatos

Uma pintura a óleo de botas e sapatos de couro gastos, amontoados sobre um pano claro diante de um fundo cinza de pinceladas soltas. Os cadarços escuros, as solas rachadas e as pinceladas ásperas dão ao calçado uma presença envelhecida e cotidiana.
