Description
Van Gogh’s A Pair of Shoes, hand-painted in oil
Painted in Paris in 1886, A Pair of Shoes takes the humblest of subjects, a scuffed, well-worn pair of leather boots, and makes it unforgettable. Without a single figure, the battered shoes speak of long roads and hard days, painted in warm browns with real tenderness. Van Gogh returned to worn boots several times; they are among the most discussed still lifes in art.
Our version is a hand-painted oil reproduction, brushed onto canvas by a senior studio artist so the worn leather and warm tones keep the character of the original.
Where an honest still life belongs
Understated and characterful, it suits a study, an entryway, a workshop or a modern interior, and pairs well with wood, leather and warm tones.
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.
