Description
Van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Paris in 1887, this quiet still life sets a single pair of worn, heavy leather shoes on the ground against a plain background. Van Gogh painted old shoes several times, drawn to the whole story of hard walking and work worn into the cracked, misshapen leather; here the battered pair is modelled in deep browns with a grave, almost tender attention, one of his most famous humble subjects.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the worn shoes and earthy tones keep the character of the original.
Where a still life belongs
Characterful and grave, it suits a study, a hallway or a considered interior, and pairs well with wood and warm light.
Choose a hand-painted oil or a fine-art print
Order it as a hand-painted oil for genuine brushwork and impasto relief, finished by an experienced painter and made to order, or as an archival fine-art print for a smooth, even finish at a lower price.
