About the piece

Painted in 1887 during his time in Paris, Vincent van Gogh's study of well-worn shoes reflects his deep empathy for the laborer's life. The work features his characteristic thick, rhythmic impasto and a sophisticated palette of ochre and muted greens, making it a quintessential example of his Post-Impressionist style.
